The storm that was predicted for last week, didn't hit us as hard as it appeared to do in other areas. The winds tracked in from the west and I think we had some protection from the Pennines.
We even managed to time Ruby's walks to avoid the rain.
Although we may not have experienced the worst of the weather, we still had strong winds so we went to the allotment not knowing what to expect.
The main damage was that the panels surrounding the composting areas had been blown down.
Although we haven't had any more snow, despite having some heavy rain, the snow that fell over a week ago is still sticking around.
It's no longer the fluffy wet stuff as below-zero temperatures have changed, what was left of the snow, to ice. It wasn't the best of weather for celebrating two birthdays. Martyn's birthday was on Tuesday and Ruby's on Wednesday. Ruby was five years old and Martyn was - a lot older.
I don't really have much to say this week. Christmas and the New Year are now behind us and winter has moved in with a vengeance. It has been cold, very cold.
We haven't ventured to the allotment. Fortunately, we didn't need any vegetables.
