-6C here last night and a white start to the day.

Is that all! I'm surprised it wasn't lower. On the local weather
forecast, David Brane (sp?) said it was -6C in Penzance last night,
and we had the same on the other side of the bay. That's the coldest
it's been since we moved here eight years ago. It's already -2.7C
tonight and it's only 7pm. I expect losses in the garden. The flowers
on my Lobsterclaw that I posted a pic of in your first appeal for NYD
plants, are now a dark plum purple. Quite attractive really!

It's clouded over here tonight and is markedly 'warmer'! I think we get a
bit sheltered, if that's the right word, by being south of the moor. As to
the garden, like you I'm a bit fearful as to what will have happened to some
of the more tender things but we don't have Clianthus outside!!
