Being watched


Sunday was a dull, cloudy but mild day although it did brighten up late afternoon to give a bright and sunny end to the day.

I picked some tomatoes from our home greenhouse to cook to make tomato sauce for using in warming winter dishes.
I was well aware that as I picked the tomatoes I was being watched by this pretty large garden spider perched on the greenhouse roof. I think she might have got a little upset if I’d spoilt her carefully constructed web amongst the tomato foliage.

I’ve done a little more analysis on the weather comparison between The Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh and my weather station in Ossett. The graph shows the daily maximum and minimum temperatures and the daily rainfall total at both sites. Whilst Ossett has recorded slightly higher daytime temperatures the minimum temperatures are quite similar. The difference in rainfall  is astonishing.
