Wild weather and Brahms

The north west living up to it's inclement reputation with lashing rain and high winds. Not enough to do any damage, but enough to rattle the house and wake me up. What with work and the weather, I gave gardening a miss and went to a Brahms concert at RNCM with the neighbours. Not that I know my Brahms from my Brahmins, but enjoyed it all the same. One day their valiant efforts at raising our cultural awareness might pay off. Very heartwarmingly, they had sponsored one of the pieces in our name.

AB - the berries are from a type of rowan tree, called 'Joseph Rock' The common ones are red - they grow wild as well as cultivated. If you have a little space they're a joy to grow. And the polytunnel is the green sludgy area on the photo - a plastic greenhouse if you will. The green tint is not algae, just built in shading. Bought it from www.solartunnels.co.uk. Had it 7 years and it's still in good nick. Happy to recommend it.

Weather mild, min 3C max 13.2C, wind gusting up to 30mph, 7mm rain, baro 992 and falling.
