We had a frost Friday night/Saturday morning, surprised you didn't.
Anyhoo, looking forward to the rain. Off for a weeks fishing holiday tomorrow so the river looks like being freshened-up!
If you've got a modern condensing boiler that's money for old rope.
Nothing to "service" - just repair/replace when something (pressure switch or PCB) gives up.
Noticeable how many yellow leaves were coming down in the strong NWerly yesterday afternoon.
I was fishing in the canal and by the end it was covered in them - must be about a month earlier than recent years.
Last year was excellent for sloes, a bumper crop.
Still got some in the freezer (in case this year isn't so good) and two bottles of sloe gin in the cupboard, rare vintage!
There's desperate, then there's this:
