METO app using current data... And new trial data... Both wrong. The future's bright boys and girls.
-
Feeling lovely out there now. It just shows what a difference a bit of Sunshine makes.
-
Much better this morning. A dry walk, albeit over sodden fields. Just put the seedlings out on the patio, as the Sun tries to break through.
-
Just switched my meto to use the new trial data. Might as well. Can't be any worse.
-
Another wet walk this morning. Yesterday was off and on drizzle/rain, when it was forecast to be decent, so didn't get as much done as planned. The rest of the week is forecast to be a gloom fest.
-
dr weather Just like the Baz Luhrmann track from the nineties. Chance would be a fine thing, this year.
-
dr weather Oh dear, unless you're a doctor of course. I thought the trails through the Blaise estate were great and we got to drive over Clifton Suspension bridge. Only just getting home now. Been a long day.

*Stormforce~beka* Looks like a granny bonnet, so a friend.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Rich_Clements We've been asking for 16 years and the estate always said no, but out of the blue they agreed. Four of us did it, gaining just over 500m2 each. It's certainly kept us busy for the last 6 months and will continue to do so. Nearly finished my Bristol jaunt. Popped into a couple of pubs on the way back to the car, to watch the footie. Just waiting for the OH to finish to chauffeur me home. Beautiful weather now. Off tomorrow again, so back to digging.
-
Just dropped the OH off at Bristol Free School. Going for a wander and bumped into Darren Jones MP at an ATM, who we knew is doing the opening speech. Had a quick chat. What a nice chap. Now on the Blaise Castle estate, with a fair bit of blue sky above.
-
Crackerjack I know. That's the one that they had put down last month. More like a helipad.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Aubrieta can look scraggy out of season, so check for any signs of growth and cut it back above that. It doesn't like sitting in the wet, so make sure the pot drains well. You normally see it spilling over garden walls. I'm trying to grow some from seed this year, to do just that.
-
*Stormforce~beka* No, next door is about 200 years old. They're the bits of field that we bought (us and 3 neighbours), so the grass isn't bad considering. Only got change of use to gardens in November, so we're only just getting started. More rain this morning. Should clear soon though. Male sparrowhawk has been sat on the fence for ages... Terrible photo....
-
Dorsetbred Said that to the OH earlier. Will work on it on my own patch and will get back to you. Anyway... Looks like I've got an unexpected trip to Bristol tomorrow. OH doesn't know how to get to her students' speaking event, so I've got to take her, go for a wander, find a pub to watch United v Liverpool and get driven home. A nice break from digging, at least.
-
Drizzle has arrived, but we're dry wrapped up under the sail. Just finished my first Saturday job in 29 years. Only next door's grass, but it's a start
-
Grass frost and clear blue skies above at first light. Plenty of cloud on the Western horizon, ready to roll in and do it's thing for the useful part of the day.
-
Just pulled up on the drive, looked up, clear skies. Couldn't write it.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Yep, full wets on, but finished before the latest shower arrived. Then the same on the other side. 35 done in total.
-
Dorsetbred Looks like it's clearing out the back, so heading back out. The yews have been shipped already and arrive in half an hour apparently.
-
Here's the rain again. 15 holes dug, 17 to go, but the radar suggests it's setting in for a while.
-
Another day... more showers.
-
jy Ah right. Nice one. Ta. These were £3.09ea for 20-30cm English Yew. Not going to complain at that price, compared to garden centres.
-
@jy I had switched from the Hyundai to your Cobra, as the similar Cobra was 30 quid cheaper, but last minute, Robert Dyas reduced their price by £35, so went with the Hyundai. Plus it was in stock. It's 21", self propelled c/w a rear roller. Will hopefully be able to fire it up tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Great work on the buddleia though. And the daffs look good. Yep, back to rain and cloud now. Was hoping to take my new set of wheels for a spin this evening, but looks like the approaching rain will scupper it.
-
Dorsetbred Just living in the moment. Don't like the look of the heavier stuff off NW France. Looks like more than the apps were forecasting this morning, for later on.
