On a go slow

There was no blog posted yesterday (for Sunday’s weather) as my computer had decided to have a long weekend and was operating on a very go slow. Each click of the mouse demanded a patient wait while the little blue circle whirled and nothing at all happened. After a few re-boots something sorted itself out and normal service was restored.

Sunday’s weather was a little bit disappointing following several days of absolutely glorious conditions it turned out to be an overcast day with the clouds just thick enough to give a little drizzle at times.

Our winter onions for storing have all been tidied up and placed in the greenhouse. They may need some extra protection when the colder weather arrive but for the moment they should be fine.

Monday was a much better day although it was windy in the afternoon. It was still very mild for October with a high temperature of 25.3°C. The night time low fell to only 13.4°C giving us an average temperature of 18.7°C, ridiculously high for October.

We decided to make the most of the weather and visited the RSPB Reserve at Blacktoft Sands. 

This reserve is situated almost at the confluence of the Rivers Humber and Trent. The land is very flat and the wind was even stronger here.
