Storm Brian- climate change

Well, we seem to have escaped Storm Brian in central Scotland apart from a couple of hours of rain.

This rose survived.

Not for the first time we notice that the weather in Scotland, contrary to what folk think south of the Border, is getting wetter and milder.  

Its years since we have had severe frost and snow.

Today has been taken up with housework because on Tuesday I have got to have my second cataract operation - and no domestic chores for a week.
