He came last night and left a very pretty white coating on the grass beside the road, it wasn't until just an hour or so ago that I noticed he'd also got the tops of our potato plants. They look very sad - hopefully not fatal though. Also the autumn sowing of dwarf Borlotto beans have keeled over, they had just about stopped setting beans anyway, it was more of an experiment this year as they did so badly in the summer heat that we thought they couldn't do any worse now. We have had quite a few good pickings from them since the end of September till last week.
3.3° on the thermometer on the front terrace this morning - I met someone when shopping in Ugijar this morning and his thermometer reading was 0° - he'd gone onto the terrace for his morning coffee but I doubt he stayed out there long.
Snow showers forecast as from 5pm, it hasn't happened yet this year but we did get this on the
30th November 2008
Now that snow wasn't forecast and was quite a shock to say the least, there was snow on the beaches as well. At least this year it's being predicted and we won't be so surprised if it comes down tonight.
