As flooding sweeps across the UK, everyone is needing a waterproof jacket and luckily Outdoor Scene the best selection of 3in1 jackets, winter jackets and waterproof jackets.   This has been such a bad year with an exceptionally wet summer resulting in more waterproof jackets being sold than ever before so that  now customers want a [...]

It's getting colder and colder in the garden and a versatile winter 3in1 jacket is the answer for gardeners everywhere- especially those who work outdoors in the bracing wind or in  open and exposed places.  The best thing about them is that 3in1 jackets are waterproof and warm, and you can remove a layer if you get too warm [...]

I am reliably informed by Tony in our warehouse that there is a cold snap on the way which means that you will all be getting out your winter jackets.  I am already wearing my down filled quilted jacket and the Tony is either wrapped up in his warm 3in1 jacket or in layers of [...]

As the weather was mild and dry yesterday I planted my tulips.  I had been to Coton Manor in September and bought some bulbs, and then bought some more from the marvellous Bloms Bulbs  - which arrived 2 days later - how about that for service!   I had already planted my daffodils and narcissi, and luckily I remembered [...]

I never knew that we imported so many saplings.   It makes me so cross that even though we grow trees, vegetables and fruit in this country we still continue to import - and have now imported a deadly tree disease which threatens all our ash trees.  90% of Danish Forests have been decimated by this disease for which [...]

The autumn colours are wonderful this year and the trees along the avenue to the industrial estate in Market Overton are ablaze with vibrant reds, yellows and oranges.  I took  Harry out for his walk this morning and he had great fun in the leaves apart from when had a mad turn and wanted to turn [...]

I have just returned from Spain and am freezing!  Winter jacket has been worn for the first time today!
I was amused to see autumn menus on display in the English owned retaurants and cafes in southern Spain- pumpkin soup in particular! To my horror Hallowe'en is very much in evidence there and I was shocked to see some [...]
