“The wettest April” says the Weatherman on the Hill

Posted in 2012, People, Posts of Note, Weather on Tuesday May 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »

The current TV and Radio news weather items has prompted me to look back at April over the last few years. Without doubt April 2012 has been a little on the damp side, certainly more than a heavy dew! It is interesting to see the wide variation over the same month in different years – 18mm in 2007 and 132 mm this year.

Thank you to the Weatherman on the Hill.

Daffodil Time?

Posted in 2011, Flora, Gardens, Posts of Note, Weather on Sunday November 20, 2011| 2 Comments »

Kevin S writes:

Today’s weather stats confirm what we all know: that the warm autumn continues (despite the fog).  Even so, I was a bit shocked this morning when I saw daffodils coming up in the garden.

Remembering JFS’s photos of apple blossom, primroses and ceanothus from way, way back in October, I decided to list what was happening the garden.  I found:

  • Honeysuckle in flower.
  • A Dorothy Perkins rose putting out new flower buds.
  • A spirea starting to flower.
  • Flowers on the white, summer-flowering jasmine (and on the yellow, winter-flowering jasmine too; no surprise there, though).
  • Masses of flowers on an ornamental strawberry.
  • Campanulas and geraniums in flower.

If it wasn’t for all the worm casts, I’d be tempted to get the lawn mower out.

I was on the phone to a friend in Nottingham yesterday, when she suddenly stopped in mid-sentence because a  peacock butterfly had just flown by.

It would be interesting to hear what other unseasonal sightings people have spotted…?
