Dull Monday - but quite nice really!

Hi all, hope you are all well and had a nice weekend. I had a busy one but it was nice, had to go to the workshop and make some more jewellery on Saturday as my things are selling well in the new shop I have them in - Serendipity in Presteigne!

Today is a dull day, but only weather-wise, it is quite nice really as I have a day in front of the computer and I know I'm not missing any nice weather outside, lots of coffee and work to be done so I am happy, and I do like Autumn/Winter, the big jumpers have come out of the wardrobe and my wellies are by the front door ready for a soggy trudge in the woods.

It is also the time of year for the Leonids meteor shower, tonight should be good, but I fear there will be too much cloud to actually see anything! Knowing that those shooting stars are doing their thing overhead is lovely however.

So, with that I shall put the kettle back on the stove and get on to the next thing - have a good day everyone!

Cold, wet and wintry.

Hi all, well, today I feel the grip of winter descending, it is 4.40pm as I type, it is nearly dark outside, its raining and bloomin' cold! I do like winter, but have been lulled into a false sense of security by the unseasonably warm weather we have had of late. On Friday we had the warmest Halloween on record, it was dry and mild, but today things seem to be catching up with how November normally is.

I hope we have a dry, chilly winter, in all seriousness we need a few frosts to kill of the bugs in the garden and germs that bring on ill health - it is what out climate should be, even if it is inconvenient. I think I will be digging out my scarves and gloves tomorrow, whist packing away thinner clothes until next year!
