Default British Winters

I hope that the weather pundits who forecast that we are in for a number of
years of Winters like this one are wrong. I don't know how badly others
have been affected but my Leeks, brussel sprouts and purple sprouting
broccoli have been killed by it, the only survivors in the vegetables has
been the spring cabbage. How many of my numerous flowers in pots have
survived it is too early to tell.

My flat leaved & curly parsley are well deceased from the minus temps in
December. It got to -15c here and my toilet froze, which was not a happy
experience, I can tell you.. It's not an outside toilet, btw.
It's years since the temps went so low. Last time it did my flannel froze
to my bath overnight.
