Chris, the muck is mostly inside....

We are covered in a couple of inches of snow.

Masses of Siskins in N Ireland. If the snow keeps up expect more in to gardens and maybe Waxwings

I can tell you it is HOT HOT HOT in Christchurch NZ where I am spending the day taking in the art galleries.
I have had wonderful trips into the mountains and hope to post lots of pics when I return to bonnie scotland.
I hate to say it but I miss you all as I only get brief snatches of the internet when possible.

neI iH. I'm trying to type Hi Ian upside down so he can read it without having to stand on his head. I suppose wandering round those misty mountains in New Zealand could become hobbit forming, if it wasn't for the yearning to be back in the auld country?  I bet you've had a fanastic time? Us archchair, 'SAD' gardeners could do with some of your sunshine so send us some more pics via the interweb please.

[Ian Y]

Only 2 mins left Anthony, I will bring sun and pics home for you.

Anthony,

Our technology is sufficient down here in teh Southern Hemisphere that it automatically converts to upside down for us to read..... otherwise how would we be reading everything else you write?  Hmmmm... there goes my excuse to ignore everything you say, just because it is the wrong way up.  Dang, should have thought of that earlier!

Not really cold here but the first snow for my region.

We had -2^oC last night, but only a peppering of snow.

now that the sun is up the snow is melting fast here

No snow here all day yesterday, just cold and wet.  Pond has frozen over again overnight.

It was minus 7 degrees C when I went outside to take some pix at nine am. Flippin' perishin' !

I 've got some pix of very cold rolled rhododendron leaves. Will post when I've thawed out... this may be in some months' time!!

[mark smyth]

Any sign of the post man/woman?

My pond is three feet deep and the water pumped through a box filter so it never freezes over.
