Cold sunny morning.

Very cold and windy and raining.

Dark, rainy, windy afternoon.

Very windy now, no rain yet though, unlike Wales where they've got terrible floods. I'd rather have snow, but any sort of dramatic weather's welcome.

Went to town in the afternoon: it was raining and blowing strongly but it was quite mild and pleasant really.

Shocking weather: freezing cold with thick fog which the sun, 1 day past the solstice and about 10 deg above the horizon, could not disperse. Went to the Co-op for vodka in a heavy frost.

Appallingly cold on the way to town.

Bright and cold again; noticed that the kettle's taking longer to boil - the cold water must be colder. Proper December weather.

Bright and cold.

Very warm for the time of year this morning.

Very windy in the night and in the morning; one panel of the fence blew down. It rained continuously, with a cold front peak at 11.30am, till about 2.30. I went out and propped up the fence; it was very dark. About 3pm the sky cleared and golden sun burst out.

Cold, clear and bright.

Cold, clear and bright in the morning, clouding over with increasing wind, then cold-front rain about 5.30.

Cold and windy with plenty of sun.

Weather changed at last, after 10 days. Rain and wind in the morning, great sun in the afternoon.

Sun again today but colder still.

Sun came out today, at last.
