This morning we have a snow/sleet/snow/sleet combo going on. Nothing

against the radiators or the Aga, depending on where I am! Neither

and Nursery - can't think why!

Well, do *you*?? (Fancy a race round the garden and nursery??) ;-)

I've given in. Normally I walk to the crematorium to do my duties but
this morning I just can't face it. Haven't used the car this year so
far apart from once when I took a granddaughter to Oxford. Wasn't
exactly a new year resolution but I'm sorry to have given in.

I went out to fill the bird feeders, say hello to people etc. and came
in thoroughly chilled and fed up with the damp, claggy day! The dog
didn't take much whistling up to get them back into the nice, warm
kitchen! So no, I don't blame them. On the up side, we're starting to
put in seed for some of the veg plants & tomatoes, my favourite sweet
pea - Matucana - is sprouting and there is every probability that spring
will occur!!

Here at the tropical end of Swansea Bay we have been frost free for the
last 3 days, the snow had cleared from a lot of the place with the rain
we had Monday night.
Last night we had fine snow which added up to around an inch, then this
morning we had a bit of fine sleet which turned to fine snow around
lunch time and we have had almost 4 hours of it, probably another inch.
