looks like there was nearly snow in Scotland ! It is mega sunshine here today and I had taken day off to pack them up and now spent the morning rearranging again.

Does keeping them under lights work at all outside because mine are pretty much hot today and they are still burrowing down... can't stop nature I suppose with the nights drawing in. I wish we could have the seasons back though as usually September is stunning introduction to Autumn, CB

Mine have the heat on from 7 - 2pm and dont really get up, unless the sun comes out and makes the GH really hot. They know its going to get colder and colder.
The only worry is, if we suddenly have an indian Summer like we have in the past this time of the year:0(

Mine don't seem to want to do much. It was fairly warm today but not enough to make them go outside, they stayed in the greenhouse.
At least it wasn't raining here today!

Fantastic sunshine today and so I have opened all their houses but I bet it will only be the Hermanns that venture outside to eat!

I had to scrape ice off the card windscreen this morning!

Otherwise, wonderful full moon and clear sky early this morning at 6.
