Coldest November Night Ever!!!

Quick post - not been down lotty for a while due to being away from home...builders in.

Anyway - went down to make video, will post when I get home.

However, we have had snow and the Nov temp overnight was lowest on record for a Nov night.

Amazing stuff - so a very low Nov CET is likely now.

Enjoy the cold!

UPDATE: Nov CET came in at +5.2°C so that is -1.4°C below average.
That's chilly and ranks it in the top 100 coldest Novs of all time!

PooFest 2010

PooFest is over for a year - put in 12 bags x 60 Litres (720 litres) of well rotted horse manure at a cost of £40.

So all in and will rot down for next year's growing season.

I smell a bit though!
