The last year has been rather different from the previous few. The lowest temperature here in Pennine Lancashire last winter was -0.8C as opposed to -16C last year.
We have had very little wind for the last three months compared to the last few years as well.
I'm well on the way to making lawns from what was field after cutting the grass so many times this year.
The temperature last night at 10:00pm was 14C.
