Weather Video. plus Potatoes at Poundland

Not been down to the allotment for 4 weeks, been to cold and windy-anyway its all done and ready for the spring-which at the moment feels a long way off.
I am looking at the seed catalogue's at what to grow next season, and making plans in my head for next year as what to grow.  Its under a month now till the pound shop gets its spuds, onion sets and shallots in for sale-8 spuds to a £1 bag-works out just over 12 pence per spud-don't know about onions or shallots-but i wont find them cheaper any where else in Preston.

This  time last year we where starting with the ice and snow witch lasted well in to
the new year-overnight temperatures of minus 12c in some places and heavy snow all over the U/K
no planes, no transport of any kind -all grounded....even me !!
