More rain but continuing mild

Sunday was a wet, mild and windy day. The rain fell from lunchtime until late afternoon, heavy in short spells but no great amount today. We are heading for a wet January but it's more a steady accumulation through the month rather than any great deluges.

The cold winter will be a test for our young banana tree overwintering in the cold greenhouse. This is a cutting taken from a plant which survived outside in a pot last winter so I'm hopeful our youngster will survive.
