Not good weather.

Not a very good day today .just rain and wind again. It could be a lot worse. A friend phoned up and said that the front where they work is flooded. I do hope that everyone is safe.

more rain

the start of the new year is rain and more rain. woke up to a grey dismal day and rain. my local high street started to flood the other day,but when  i went down yesterday it receded ,it does flood quite badly. the local pond is brimming to nearly over flowing. we have got visitors on the pond ,seagulls . the pond id divided into two , there is abridge which goes over the pond and there is a little waterfall as well. the seagulls seem to prefer the side near the road, and the otherwater fowl prefer the side which is quieter.

not a good start.

not a good start to the day , cold wet and windy, but after a lovely day yesterday must not complain.
dawn is breaking as i write this and it looks gloomy.

recent storms.

i do hope that the recent storms have been not to bad where you live. they haven't been to bad here. yes a few trees down and fences nothing to major, thank goodness.
been watching my cat rosie sitting in the honeysuckle bush, she really likes sitting there.at the moment the sky is blue a few white clouds scuddering along and beautiful sunshine, but it is cold , that lovely crispy cold.

topsy turvey.

it has been topsy turvey in my neck of the woods. strong winds rain ,grey dank days. this morning i woke up to sunshine blue skies white clouds scuddering across and sunshine.
i have to go and sweep the leaves of my path, well i should do, but loathe to do it, as they make a really crunch crunch sound.  they are from the sweet chestnut tree near me,
the rosebushes near the river where i work have now been trimmed up  and the trees and butterfly bushes in the church yard are getting ready for winter now, all is quiet there now, but the river is babbling along as usual .but the trees this year seem reluctant to shed their leaves, .it been nice to see all the autumn colours for a bit longer.

pottering sunday.

yesterday the weather was really lovely, clear blue sky, the sun was shining and it was cold and crisp. but today grey and dank. no birds singing at the moment. so instead i am indoors going to sort the houseplants out, make sure they are ok. my cactus plant has still got 2 white flowers and i am pleased, that they are still in bloom.the spider plant has got so many babies now that i will have to pot them. it is a very good show.and at the moment it is so peaceful i and out of doors.

autumn.

there was a heavy dew this morning which sparkled in the sunshine, as i walk past a little park. it was a cold crispy morning with the sun shining and blue skies. made a change from the grey  rainy weather just lately.
i had a ladybird crawl over my scarf when i was on the bus and then all of a sudden it flew off.
my christmas or easter cactus  has 2 white flowers. it is quite a big plant but only 2 flowers, but i am so pleased it flowered..
the leaves on the trees near me are now dropping their leaves, they have really hung onto them this years. the colours have really been lovely this year.
alas the beech and sweet chestnut trees did not do so well this year, bur never mind there is always next year.
just enjoying this beautiful sunshine.
