Frost again last night. I've told the weathermen on the telly quite forcefully that I've had enough of the cold nights, but no one listens to me..........no change there then.

Another pleasantly warm day - I could get used to this. Its perfect weather for gardening , not too hot nor cold. Neither wind nor rain or frost. A little warmer overnight would be the icing on the cake.
The soil is perfect for digging up buttercups - lift a clump on the fork, give them a shake and all the soil falls off leaving a bundle of roots. Lots of worms making me happy - and the chooks if they spot them first!

After a frosty start it turned out to be a shorts and t-shirt day

Another brilliant morning, not a cloud in the sky. Down to -1C last night, but tonight's forecast is for positive temps for once. Positively tropical!

Just checked my night time temps for the next few nights....3,6,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,5,5!!!!
OMG! That's still so cold.
Just to add my hose pipe is frozen so I can't use it until it's warmed up and every water butt I have is empty - no rain here for weeks.

I agree Scarlet. Totally chilly. It comes to something when I'm pleased that it's not a minus figure, but the low positives are still a burden. We are going to be so late hardening off and planting out this year. I ordered some busy lizzies which were delivered last week totally frosted, they had obviously been somewhere unprotected overnight. I'm not sure the replacements will be any better.
Fingers crossed for warmer nights.

The weather people said last night it's been the coldest April for years and the driest on record. I can believe it! They promised showers today but the promise is dwindling.
