Wednesday morning at North Cadboll House has begun dry, bright and sunny with blue sky and the moon high in the sky to the north. It was much cooler, 7C when Muffty and I went out and clearly we had a touch of frost as there was a white sheen on the grass and as I walked round the gardens, looking back to check on where Muffty was, I could clearly see the imprint on the grass of my feet creating a trail behind me.

Summer ended fairly miserably at North Cadboll House with periods of heavy rain.

Tuesday morning and the first day of autumn has begun dry (just), overcast but mild at 11C. It looks as though it could rain at any time.

After overnight rain at North Cadboll House, Monday morning, the last day of summer and beginning of the first week of autumn has begun dry, bright, sunny and a mild 12C. Rosie and the fawns were in the barley field when I entered the orchard. The wee ones started to move away but Rosie just looked up when I spoke to her and then resumed munching the stubble. The wee ones returned to her side. I wonder if she will bring them into the gardens to sleep in the wee pipe organ garden during the dark winter nights. That was where she slept most nights last year.

Sunday morning at North Cadboll House has begun dry and a mild 14C but very overcast and suggesting we may get the rain forecast for later this morning. Never mind, that is the ironing done.

Saturday morning at North Cadboll House has begun dry, mild 13C and overcast. As it is an English bank holiday weekend, no doubt the weather will be underwhelming :).

Muffty and I were out twice during the night and it was dry, cloudy and very mild. Friday morning at North Cadboll House is damp, misty and overcast but 15C. As I approached my bonfire site in the paddock this morning, poor Rosie was startled and came out of a nettle patch where she had been lying. She toddled up the east lawn before passing through the orchard and vaulting the fence into the barley field where she promptly lay down and started cleaning herself. As I move round the gardens, when I approached the pond, I disturbed the two little fawns which were lying hidden in the long grass just on the other side of the fence in the barley field. They got up and ran round the barley field towards Rosie.

Yesterday afternoon I was able to cut back more branches and bushes which have been scratching my face and arms while cutting the grass.

Thursday morning at North Cadboll House has begun dry, bright and sunny. Although it is now 13C, it must have been quite a bit colder earlier, judging by the condensation on the car etc.

Yesterday proved to be another warm and sunny day. In the afternoon I went out into the avenue armed with saw and loppers and cut branches which have been scratching or cutting me when I have been cutting the grass. If it remains dry this afternoon, I will tackle them in other parts of the gardens.

Wednesday morning has begun dry, bright and blustery at North Cadboll House. At 13C it is quite pleasant and certainly the hares playing in the barley field seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Monday afternoon at North Cadboll House proved to be glorious so I spent most of it in the gardens. The downside was that wearing shorts, my legs were constantly stung by nettles and at one point I was "pinned" when caught between a rose bush and berberis. Thankfully no clothes damaged, just some tears on my face, neck and back. The joys of gardening :)

On the STV news last night Philip warned there might be frost this morning and I am sure we must have had air frost. When Muffty and I went out for our walk just after 07.00, Tuesday morning was dry, bright and sunny with clear blue sky and light white fluffy clouds high in the sky. There was heavy due on the grass, almost white in some exposed spots and as I walked round the gardens and looked behind me, I could see the path my feet had taken in the wet grass. Officially it was 8C when we were out. Rosie was munching in the paddock when I reached it and she vaulted the fence into the wood before I got closer than 20 feet.

Sunday was a lovely day and I was able to achieve lots with stripping the bed and turning the mattress, doing a large washing which dried outdoors in the warm breeze and my regular ironing, followed by time in the gardens.

In the afternoon I spotted Rosie in the barley field with two fawns running behind her.

Overnight it was clearly cooler because the dew almost appeared like frost on the grass as Monday morning began. The new week and final week of summer at North Cadboll House has begun dry, bright and very sunny, with clear blue sky. The temperature has already risen to 13C.
