Well here in Essex we didnt see any of the snow, but what a frost. At last it has started bringing down the leaves on our Oak tree, which I have spent the day braking up and storing in large Recycle bags[free from the local council] ready for use next year. They just get stacked in the farthest corner of the garden out of sight. Moved all my tenders[bourganvillia, callistamon, Oleander and fushias, into the greenhouse, My orange and lemon trees, well I suppose they are only shrubs really, have now got pride of place in our porch, and my baby, My frangipani, that I grew from seed and is now 2 years old has been moved into a light corner in the living room away from any false heat of radiators . Now I feel I can have a rest……..Well until tonights leaf falling anyway

It was very surprising to see snow so early in the year in thee south of England yesterday. The weather always takes us by surprise,

We had a heavy frost here too but this morning it's back to normal. It was very early for that.
In my old garden I used to collect leaves. It was surrounded by trees, but here I don't have many.

This was Milky's reply to me.
I'll put it here because it's very good ~
