Although we are maybe more like the squirrel curling up in a warm nest when it's cold and popping out for food when the weather lets us and then storing up the gathered food until we can get out again.

I'm off down my plot later to see how deep the standing water is this time. Yes the weather is definitely unseasonable, in fact a week last Thursday I had to turn my central heating off, open most of the windows and leave the back door open for the afternoon, it was that warm?? The Clematis I have growing on my back garden trellis is currently flowering for the 5th time this year.Rookohttp://rookosallotment.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-20110774382863887492012-12-30T10:58:00.662+00:002012-12-30T10:58:00.662+00:00It would take a miracle, Jo or some really unseaso...It would take a miracle, Jo or some really unseasonal weather.
