| It may look like Summer but this is, in fact, 1st November 2005 (at 1408 GMT) at Ickworth Park, near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk (50 km ENE of Royston). After an overnight minimum temperature of 9.0°C a maximum temperature of 15.4°C was achieved that day at Royston, and a total of 7.7 hours sunshine was recorded. The canal is in the foreground and behind the summer house (only partly in view) is the walled garden and vineyard (which stretches well beyond the left of the picture with a different variety of vine to those visible). The church on the left and Rotunda (Ickworth House) on the right complete the picture. | A colourful reminder of the recent harvest is provided by this splendid display of gourds and squash in the glasshouse within the walled kitchen garden at Wimpole Hall some 10 km N of Royston. Only part of the display (as seen on 12th November 2005 at 1127 GMT) is visible in the picture. The lack of any frost in the Autumn up to this point has resulted in many Summer bedding plants surviving longer than normal, for example some of the dahlias in the kitchen garden. However, the first ground frost of the season occurred the very next day at Royston! This was an essentially sunny day with 6.2 hours sunshine recorded at Royston (max. temp. 11.0°C). | This already damaged mature beech tree at Lowerfield (2 km E of Royston) has finally succumbed to the wind, believed to have been felled on 3rd November 2005. This day was the windiest for some time with a 24 hour (00/00 GMT) mean wind speed of 10.0 mph, and a maximum gust speed of 44 mph from the S (at 1040 GMT). These values are by no means exceptional but the wind was obviously too much for this tree which was still in full leaf thus adding to the strain on the trunk. The photograph was taken on 14th November 2005 at 0913 GMT in a temperature of 3.1°C and virtually calm conditions. Traces of ground frost are still visible in the foreground. |
