    Default Crap Weather For May

    May here and weather has taken a tumble up here. Just about managed 11c today and its to get colder as week goes on. Frost predicted overnight so if youve planted young uns up here they could get killed

    A mainly bright day. Spent a bit more time clearing ‘Ivy corner’ (can’t take it all down as it’s the only thing holding the fence up).

    Before



    After (doesn’t look much different but filled my green bin)

    Lol... Totally different here. It's mostly been a lovely sunny day (as it currently is now - just in from watering the plants in the garden), but had a few spots of rain earlier, and currently 17°C. More of the same is forecast tomorrow. I'll see if I can blow some warmth up your way!

    Shame really - "Ivy Corner" sounds like a part of the IOM TT circuit, or a nice name for a cottage, while "Corrugated Iron Sheet Corner" just sounds like somewhere to put your sheets of corrugated iron

    Just kidding, it looks a lot tidier, just needs a couple of small planters with some ivy in them.

    It's actually corrugated plastic (like that's better?) & I'm alright for Ivy thanks.

    -22c? No wonder it looks deserted, everyone's indoors keeping warm

    Actually I'll stick with your home country, back to Sunny Beach in five weeks - warm sunshine, 80p a pint for Kamenitza, and 2 leva for a plastic solar powered hula girl to keep my current one company. What's not to like?
