I have just come in after spending about 45mins sowing some seeds and potting on a few other things and I absolutely can't feel the tips of my fingers and toes. I'm frozen to the bone!
I'm at this minute sat trying to thaw out in the conservatory where it's lovely and warm as the sun in shining and the heating is on. Haven't even taken my coat off yet!
As my lovely old mum would say...it's flippin taters out there
i am scared for all the perennials and buds that started to appear. i checked this morning, and some have been burnt by the the cold weather. spring has been postponed indefinitely, i suppose. end of winter then straight to summer.
Although it's still pretty windy here and the sun is shining the snow is melting very slowly. I've just spent an hour or so clearing the snow out of the pots because everything was getting flattened under the weight. In all honesty it was quite pleasant and really quite warm. I'm amazed how quickly the flattened mini daffs, crocus etc have perked up now that they have the sun shining on them.
No snow here in Hampshire but it is bitterly cold. SInce there's not a lot I can do in the garden itself I've been cleaning/tidying/painting the inside of my shed. Out of the direct wind but I still keep getting freezing and have to come in for a cup of tea to warm me up!

I had booked the day off work to get a few jobs done in the garden, but i'm stuck indoors glaring at a slow snow thaw.
As a result the lawn is becoming a bog with all the melt water, i'm expecting rushes to start sprouting soon.
at least this crazy biting wind has dried the ground out a bit up here in newcastle.
