Well Happy New Year to you all, from a very wet and windy Isle of Portland.

I did venture out into the back garden for 30 minutes this morning and sat in the relative shelter of the arbour, where I managed to spot 5 Herring Gulls and a Magpie. Unfortunately that was it.

Happy New Year from a very wet and windy Portland.

It's still quite mild and the roses are still in flower. When are you supposed to prune them back. Hopefully the cold spell forecast for next week will slow the growth down and pruning can commence.

The last big storm, when I was in hospital, brought these two 6ft panels down.

And here are the replacements, two trellises to let the wind through. Just got to find someone to put them up.
