Our lowest on record was a -4ºC in an especially dry, clear-skied winter in 2010 (driest on record, beating 1914). We have only had a couple of frosts so far, although we regularly get some in early spring (but the days are much warmer then, of course).James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987874030583439177.post-1077367643585870082021-06-24T08:35:59.588+08:002021-06-24T08:35:59.588+08:00Thank you Joe.

I liked them from when I first got some back in the mid-2000s. Time and more thinking about best use and basing has lead me to see the use even more (and really enjoying the painting at the mo').James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987874030583439177.post-70586239903375739552021-06-24T08:19:18.279+08:002021-06-24T08:19:18.279+08:00Thanks Mark.

It was marvellous serendipity that we saw it coming while on the way back from a morning walk with the dogs and were able to get to a position to catch that brief instant of its point of greatest colour.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987874030583439177.post-68388485732239380712021-06-24T03:47:03.800+08:002021-06-24T03:47:03.800+08:00That's quite an undertaking James.
