can anyone give me some first hand advice. The books are sometimes at odds with each other and the climate is changing. We have a cold south facing garden during winter
Snapdragons you leave in the garden, they are only annuals anyway, although you can get a couple of years out of them, you can sow new seeds in the Spring for nice new ones.
If your fuchsias are the hardy type plants in the garden, they will be fine out, don't cut them down at all and put a nice pile of compost or similar over them, if they are the tender ones, can you bring them into a cold greenhouse or conservatory.
You could take some cuttings now of your favourites just in case.
South facing gardens are usually the warmest, they get most of the sun through the day.
