It's bright and sunny here without a cloud in the sky. It was cold
last night but not as cold as it has been and the wind has dropped
entirely. But despite a couple of freezing nights, the tree ferns
still have all their green fronds and are looking very fresh and happy.
I wonder how long that can last! We're shut for 2 weeks and it's
quite nice to have the place to ourselves just for that short time.
Now we wait for the 'promised' snow - I wonder if it will get this far
after all. How's everyone else doing - snow or otherwise? Ah well -
soon be spring if the alliums coming through are anything to go by!

Sunny and cold here, SE of Bristol. Everything in my garden is frozen
solid, from my bucket of rain-water, to the olive tree. This year
everything has to fend for itself.
Snow is lovely but such a hazzard for families travelling. Don't want
it this week thanks!
