Its Weird How The Frost Just Appears Eileen ? We had Rain here all last nite until early hours this morning & when i went 2 go out in Car @7,30am My Car Windows ,Grass&Foot Paths were all Covered in Frost? Temp was -05 BBBBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR glad iv got Gloves&Scarf :D

We have showers here Eileen. It's a bit chilly but no frost. Some blue sky and a lot of clouds.
I was wrapped up nice and warm to go for my walk with Blodyn. Hope you are too. :o)

minus 5 jacque brrrrr now that is cold

you taking your camera with you Hywel when you go out for your walk? least Blodyn has a nice fur coat on her to keep her warm lol.
heading out to work in a wee while , heater will be put on in the car and i dont care what i look like my old fleece jacket will be on lol

I always take my camera now Eileen everywhere I go. I won't put a photo of what I look like on my walk. lol I have old torn jeans and a battered anorak and one of those furry caps on my head.

The one time I forgot to take my camera when I was taking Beryl home over the mountain and I saw a red kite very close. It would have made a good photo. It's like a fisherman describing the one thet got away. lol

We're having a shower of sleet now :o(

sleet? oh no Hywel, that always seems worse to me than rain, its usually so icy then.

I hope it turns to rain or pref dries up - I have to take my mother for an appointment later on. Have a good day Eileen :o)

Blues skies here, but very c-c-c-c-c-c-cold. :o)

you too Hywel. fingers crossed that it clears up there for you

doesnt sound too bad there TT. least its dry.
was it frosty there this morning?

Sounds cold Eileen. We have had some really hard frosts here, but they are weird. When Ray goes out to work at 5.45, there is nothing and by 7 o clock the ground is thick with frost.......Strange. Wrap up warm Hywel

Bright sunshine in this part of Kent this morning. I managed to coax Chloe along to the woods but once through the gate she became very agitated so we had a much quicker walk home!! Took my camera but the squirrels and birds were too far away to snap so it never came out of the case.

Hywel, those 'furry caps' are in fashion this year! Trapper hats they call them, see loads of people wearing them when I'm stood on markets.
Jacque...Brrrr, -5...colder than here. We've had rain but sunny now, bit chilly. Coming to Norfolk at Xmas, will have to remember my thermals!

Thick thermals for Norfolk !!!

Yesterday, the morning frost was weird.
Some areas had none, but in others it was really thick like snow, and yet there seemed no particular reason why some areas of ground were frosty and some weren't.

We had rain this morning, i had to take Smokey for an injection this morning, usually get the bus with him but as it was raining i had to get a taxi,but this afternoon it as turned bitterly cold but dry & sunny.

I hope everyone has kept warm today. We've had sleety showers all day but it isn't frosty so I think I'll cope.lol

Funny - well, not for all of you - we had a reasonable day today. No frost, a light breeze, a bit cloudy but not cold! I planted up three new acquistions when I got back from Henry's (muddy) walk! I haven't even lit the logburner yet and it's nearly 6 o'clock!

I am cross because I forgot my camera this morning and got within a few feet of a buzzard - first sitting in the middle of a field and then on a telegraph pole. I stood and watched him and was glad I had, because guess what he did next before he flew away!

Clue - I would have got splatted! LOL.

lol Spritz, well they do say that means good luck. good luck for who im not too sure lol

same here Irish...hard frost all day.Birds eating all day in garden.Put out extra supplies midday.

Freezing here as well. Hard frosts every morning for about the last 10 days. Bit warmer this morning though, about -3, lol. Like you BB, lots of birds visiting which is great!

plenty of birds around it seems , got some photos of them feeding in the garden today, just need to go thru them before i upload them on the site

Look 4wd to seeing them Irish.

Had a thrush today which I haven't seen in years! also starlings,dunnocks,bluetits,blackbirds.magpie and about ten collared doves at once,robin and a very large seagull.
It's very wet but getting colder!hot soup coming up!

perfect weather for soup Arlene

Have never known such hard frosts hydrangeas and hardy fuschias really hit hard .

Really interesting to see in other countries feeding wild birds illegal. Think ours would say its illegal not to !

So many dependent on us over winter months.

i would always feed the birds Bonkers, hate if it was made illegal

Eileen I was out in that freezing cold rain as Jacque described in Norfolk last night.. at midnight ..travelling the motorway I had to take hubby in for an emergency they kept him in to Operate I then went back to fetch him today .

omg Amy is he ok?

Yes he,s o.k Eileen thanks for asking , he,s been snoozing since coming home , I was always telling him about lifting heavy pots and things in the garden , he had a Hernia which was bursting , he is very bruised and sore lots of stitches but pleased to be home ....

Hospitals are horrible places to be at night , they lock doors up , I had to get a slip from the nurse to show the security man to get to the machines to pay for the car park to get out , and because most of the doors are locked you have to walk round the hospital to get to one place that is open miles away from your car . I felt like the only person in he world that was awake .

well Amy im glad he is home. hopefully it will be a quick recovery.

know what you mean about hospitals at night time, sign of the times i guess Amy. security all over the place .
our local hospital you have to be buzzed in by the staff and thats day and night. isnt it awful that you have to pay for parking your car there. most hospitals here are like that now

I think it,s dreadful that you have to pay to park at hospitals , nobody is ill on purpose ... and they always keep you waiting for hours .
He is even more in pain this morning Eileen , since the feeling has come back , It,s going to be a few days before he feels better I think ..........

~so sorry about your husband being so poorly~I hope he will be back to his old self asap!
It is sad that the hospitals need to raise money and have to be so security conscious to prevent the staff being attacked!We don't pay any more but you have to get tokens given if you can confirm you are a patient or a visitor~there is a uni next door to our main hospital and lots of students looking for car parking spaces~ there is always a queue for spaces for the people who are there for a medical purpose which is time consuming and may make for late appointments!
