THE NEW YEAR ARRIVES WITH A BIG CHILL

 


We had a tiny bit of snow which was gone not long after it arrived due to being followed by rain. However other parts of the country had laying snow for several days and more than one snowfall.

But we have had some heavy frosty days, with low overnight temperatures. The greenhouse heater's been needed to be lit several nights on the trot.


A sprinkling of frost on the raised garden with a frozen pond


This small stone trough which we use for water for the dogs up beside the folly, has frozen in this strange way.


Abandoned dog toys await the thaw !



The garden has that cold damp look to it


The ferns on the folly are going strong.


The folly walls are gather moss in the damp and shade




a tiny bit of colour.


This tiny circle of moss is growing on one of the stone urns.
