Default Poor fruit year?

Last year was an excellent year for fruit, in particular damsons and
pears. This year there are no signs of damsons and the pears are very
sparse, in fat it looks like a Norway year, null ponce. Is it general or
just here? I suspect the frosts during blossom time was the main culprit.

It's the same here - though I am going to get a few damsons. No
peaches, though, and the fig is only just starting into growth.
Yes, it was the frost.
