Weather Report..................

It’s been a lovely sunny day here today but chilly and now it’s a very clear sky and still chilly but very still here near Durham
 
Back at Stonehenge it was strange driving in with a nice warm van and seeing all the cars at Larkhill and the vans on the Drove covered in ice just taken Taya for a pee and the grass is crunchy.
 
We had a chilly night and had to drive up to Sao Bras.. ( auto correct loves this). 600 feet higher and two overcoats colder. Dry and sunny, 17 degrees, eventually, sheltered from a cutting NE breeze.. Cooling down now, heating goin on.

Time for coffee and brandy.
 
Managed a couple of hours, working diligently on the terrace in sunshine, serenaded by a Hoopoo .... noisy great sod !.
The almond blossom is breaking out.
As dusk fell, so did the thermometer. We're indoors, heating on, working just as diligently... finishing the Xmas cake... Yorkshire style, with a lump of strong crumbly cheese.
 
It was minus a lot last night on The Drove and I awoke to a hole in the cloud cover, an example of the local fauna admiring the view from aloft and a thick layer of frost covering the surrounding countryside:

....and fence posts:

Later the local drones went up to join the raptors admiring the view:

It looks as if there'll be cloud cover tonight, which means that there'll be no repeat of the amazing star display that I wondered at last night. This part of Wiltshire has little light pollution compared with Hertfordshire.

It was a couple of degrees warmer on The Drove overnight, most likely due to the fact that Annie had her fire pit warming most of Wiltshire.
So no frost this morning and about 7 degC forecast under today's cloud.
The weather persons are obviously aware of Annie's presence here because they confidently expect temperatures to rise for the weekend.
