Maybe other areas as well - I'm not sure. As long as they are sheltered from the wind they seem to do fine. I'm actually looking at some for our garden, I've always like Palms and had loads in Brisbane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to grow some varieties bristolman. They grow here in Devonnport and our winters are frosty with a right old blasts of very cold winds from the mountains and the ocean.

Yes I think it's fair to say to say most have missed the 'mayhem'. The weather report was literally just on and widespread milder weather is on its way tomorrow through the weekend and beyond so the 'mayhem' will be short lived I think ?

Sandgroper Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Just read (in the Indy ) 12.6C was the highest temperature in England on Christmas day that's shocking!! You may have well been in Melbourne with temperatures like that, so much for 4 seasons they just seem to merge now, although I think officially it was a white Christmas because somewhere in Cumbria and the Scottish borders had a flurry, how nice.

Quoll Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The forecast is for wet snow tomorrow down here but I will believe it when I see it. Yesterday was lovely, grand day for a walk, as was today but with much chillier winds. I walk in a local nature area regularly and rarely see anyone but today it was like Piccadilly Circus - I encountered half a dozen families on the road to the Down and then whenever I scanned the Down I could see between 35 and 50 people at any one time, they were like ants (I was there for a while as it's the only hill within cooee and I was trying to get my floor target on my Fitbit!). Everyone was happy, chatty and saying hello. Fab day and now with nearly 9 miles done and 72 floors I am allowing myself a mince pie!

LKC Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It rained up here all day yesterday, but we had a beautiful Boxing Day walk. Just a slight dusting of snow on the top of the hills, but more forecast for the end of the week. Of course we got the kids a sledge for Christmas, so we'll not actually see any more snow than that this winter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
