RR I think a very bright south facing windowsill or conservatory will be suitable

Temperatures are back up again after a slight dip so I have moved the Nerines outside to a display table.

I saw on the news that Scotland will get it's first frost tonight

 They are lovely , Mark.
I will not be surprised by the frost tonight.... it was barley 9 degrees at midday outside and a recnt caller to thehouse apologised for disturbing me at my work in the garden.... an assumption he made by the number of layes of clothes I am wearing, including large scarf and fingerless gloves..... I'd been here at the computer, not outside at all..... thermometer beside desk here reads 14 degress. Bulb Despot ( could be renamed DD  for Domestic Despot, also :P ) says we "may" get some heating on after the Discussion Weekend..... :-X :-\

11C just now Maggi

I took photos of all the Nerines today and they look better than ever. Sadly I found one infected with stagonospora.
