The snow has almost all disappeared. All that remains are mounds where snow had been piled up. The snowman, that interested Ruby so much the previous week, is now a shadow of its former self and was of no interest. We didn't venture to the allotment. This time, it wasn't the weather that kept us away rather, we were busy doing other things, but more on that later.

Although we haven't had any more snow, despite having some heavy rain, the snow that fell over a week ago is still sticking around. It's no longer the fluffy wet stuff as below-zero temperatures have changed, what was left of the snow, to ice. It wasn't the best of weather for celebrating two birthdays. Martyn's birthday was on Tuesday and Ruby's on Wednesday. Ruby was five years old and Martyn was -  a lot older.

I don't really have much to say this week. Christmas and the New Year are now behind us and winter has moved in with a vengeance. It has been cold, very cold. We haven't ventured to the allotment. Fortunately, we didn't need any vegetables.  Read more NB: Sometimes comments made here rather than on my main blog often are overlooked and languish in a moderation list.

That's it for another year. We can put Christmas behind us as we now hurtle towards the end of the year. I've just settled into 2024 but soon we will enter 2025 Apparently, Easter eggs are already appearing in some supermarkets.

There's no mistaking the fact that winter now has us in its grasp. For much of last week, it was cold and wet . When we went to the allotment on Sunday, to harvest some parsnips and leeks, we had a gake and I was nearly blown off my feet.

I don't really have much to report for the week. We didn't need any vegetables from the plot so no visit was required. The soil condition now precludes any work on the beds. At the weekend, the weather took a turn for the worse, with strong winds and rain, brought our way by storm Daragh. The best course of action was to hunker down indoors and keep warm and dry. It must have been a nightmare for homeless people with no option other than to sleep on the streets. The storms have come at a bad time for those who have put Christmas trees up outdoors.

Last week was cold and frosty. At times the sun was dazzlingly bright and at other times it was wet and dull. It really wasn't gardening weather, so we only made one quick visit to the allotment to harvest some leeks and parsnips.  Read more NB: Sometimes comments made here rather than on my main blog often are overlooked and languish in a moderation list.
