Winter tightens its grip
There's no mistaking the fact that winter now has us in its grasp. For much of last week, it was cold and wet . When we went to the allotment on Sunday, to harvest some parsnips and leeks, we had a gake and I was nearly blown off my feet.

Battered
I don't really have much to report for the week.
We didn't need any vegetables from the plot so no visit was required. The soil condition now precludes any work on the beds.
At the weekend, the weather took a turn for the worse, with strong winds and rain, brought our way by storm Daragh. The best course of action was to hunker down indoors and keep warm and dry. It must have been a nightmare for homeless people with no option other than to sleep on the streets.
The storms have come at a bad time for those who have put Christmas trees up outdoors.

Wrapping up warmly
Last week was cold and frosty. At times the sun was dazzlingly bright and at other times it was wet and dull.
It really wasn't gardening weather, so we only made one quick visit to the allotment to harvest some leeks and parsnips.
