ST JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH, WASPERTON
A SANCTUARY FOR WILDLIFE

Updated December 2024

If the ice will bear a goose before Christmas,
it will not bear a duck after.

Given our present climate, I think that the goose and the duck will keep swimming this winter. But I do like these old weather sayings which are all based on experience in those years passed. 

On average, the early winter storms continue into December  till about the 14th. Frosty weather occurs about the 18th to the 24th, or it used to, with south and east winds. The weather trend then is a change to storms, then milder  25th to the 31st. So no white Christmas. OK so you say, "what is one of those".

Our Churchyard knows that it is winter now, as do the residents. Hedgehogs and bats all in hibernation. Looking around all  pretty tidy and a good time of the year with no work to do, just to keep an eye on things.
