The glorious cold, but sunny weather is back and I finally managed to get everyone out of the house for a little walk at the Ynyshir RSPB reserve. Morgan took some persuading as he seems to be addicted to ‘Club Penguin’ on the computer at the moment, but in the end the thought of taking...

I’ve always had a vision of planting lots of Cordylines (also known as Manx or Cabbage Palms) along the road here as I think it would enhance the seaside feel with a slightly tropical touch.

December the 1st, the first day of winter and after what turned out to be a very windy autumn, the weather is right on cue with the first frost. The winds have eased here in Wales and we had a lovely clear night last night with a nice moon. The temperature dropped to -0.7ºC overnight...

Last night was the first dry, windless night we’ve had for a while so I put the moth trap out to see what we could catch. We awoke this morning to the first frost of the winter and not a moth in sight. The first night since getting the moth trap that we’ve caught nothing....
