15th January. Temperatures have dropped to -7°C the 8 inches of snow that we had, is now thawing. Grass is still covered in snow and the hard surfaces which we cleared are now clear of ice.
Seed sowing is underway, it is just light enough to get up the drive at 5.00 p.m, shoots of snowdrops are pushing through, many primroses are in flower in our frost free greenhouse. We are preparing for spring.
