So it’s been another nice day with some sunshine here in London but there’s reports of snow and Arctic conditions up north this afternoon. It may have been nice in the sunshine but when you walked out of the sun it weren’t half nippy!

The forecast tonight is for possible frost so we got out the protection for some newly planted shrubs in the form of old bits of fabric flung around a trio of small bamboo canes in a tent formation. We’ve made sure the cloth don’t touch the leaves, there’s no gaps where the cold can get into and a few stones at the bottom to anchor it down. We can only hope for the best!
