Almost as nice today :-)

The weather has been nice today but not as nice as yesterday. Mostly because the clouds stayed for much longer this morning than they did yesterday morning and we’ve had some wind and three drops of rain. All in all though it has been one of the nicer days this summer πŸ™‚ We walked out […]

A rather perfect day weather-wise.

I thought it would be cold here this morning because yesterday evening had a cold bite in the air. It didn’t stay clear though so very little morning mist but 8C (46,4F) and no wind. The dogs woke me up at 3:45 and it did sound as if they really needed to go outside. So […]

Sun warm strawberries.

I’m sitting here in front of the computer eating strawberries that my neighbours kids thought I should have πŸ™‚ Yes I am spoiled πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ They had been to one of the many self picking places today because the season for strawberries is almost open and this was supposed to be the last weekend they […]

Really nice fog this morning.

We had thick fog here this morning when I woke up and since it was fairly warm I guessed it wouldn’t stay for especially long, so I was in no hurry to go out for our morning walk. I realised after a while that it didn’t evaporate at all so out we went. Fog is […]

I didn’t expect to meet that on our walk.

Greylags on they way out to the bog. A beautiful sunrise and a cold morning, not as cold as yesterday but cold enough to kill the plants that had survived yesterday but was badly hit by the frost yesterday. My neighbours tomato plants said good buy and the one I had in the greenhouse Β that […]

I’ve been working in the garden.

  It has been a really nice day here even though the weak wind was pretty cold. Below 0C (32F) temperature during night again but it looks like the coming night will be the last one in a while to have that. From now on it’ll be cloudy but warmer winds will finally fly in […]

Well I didn’t expect that would happen.

  So I left the cottage to release another mouse from the box trap before having the morning walk with the dogs. Β I was a bit later than usual, around nine am even though I had been up since before six am just because it still was so cold after the night and a cold […]

Cold nights.

  We’ve now had two really nice days, yesterday no wind at all and today a weak but a bit chilly one but it did cool down some while being in the sunshine for a while. Nights however have been way too cold, yesterday night it fell down to -5C (23F) and last night -3C […]

Before the storm arrives.

  It was windy already when I woke up this morning and it has kept on all day but now it’ll calm down during the night just to grow up to be a storm hitting us hard tomorrow afternoon/ night. The storm called Dave is at the moment hitting the British Isles so it’ll be […]

Snow.

  I noticed tiny, tiny snowflakes yesterday evening just before going to bed and this morning they had grown a bit bigger and multiplied a lot. They don’t fall down though, they fall sidewise in the strong eastern wind that never seem to leave us. Normally we have winds from west here and since I […]
