Spring?

Little more than a week ago we were out tidying the garden ready for a new growing season. The earliest flowering bulbs were beginning to open and we were excitedly watching the newly planted (in the Autumn) tulips and crocuses in the circular flower bed at the end of the lawn appearing.

Thursday last week it began to Snow and didn't stop until Saturday. Here's how it looked as we left for a fine Easter feed at the in laws chalet on Good Friday.






On Saturday night, it was down to -13.4 Deg C and hasn't been above freezing since.

On Sunday I took the oppurtunity to get snow chains on the David Brown and mostly for my own entertainment (and good experience) moved some snow about.

A few photo's of attaching snow chains on More-Power here.



On Monday it snowed a fair bit and even more Today. The weather forecast says that in a couple of days the temperatures will creep over freezing, but not much. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer before I can properly get to work in the garden.
