Ho Gawd yes. Found we've got 3 digitalis, one seeded itself
precariously on the edge of a pot with some mint. Silly thing. All the
alliums are pocking their heads and I wondered around whispering to
them 'not yet, sleep a little longer...'. This morning was the coldest
we've felt, ice everywhere and our face felt burnt by the Siberian wind
- deep blue skies since yesterday afternoon, last night was heavy with
stars and today the Rochdale hills just look glorious from where I'm
sitting.
