More forecast .....

that last picture is fabulous!!

Yes I like it, i watched the sky lighten, the pinks were fantastic too.
Thankyou Sticki.

I hope it's not so bad if you do get more. It's horrible. I hope your shrubs will come through all right. We are supposed to have it this time aswell. I find it very depressing and not pretty at all - sorry lol
It probably preserves the pests :o(

All very 'seasonal' but you must be dreading the next lot. Who lives in the little hut on the lawn?

Sorry to see you've had so much snow...
and lost elderly fish :o(

Re. the aucuba... I would be tempted to inspect it in the springtime .. tie up some of the parts nearest the fence, and then prune some of the most floppy parts at the front ... do you think that's a good idea ?

Heron I wondered that!! Love the last photo, looks so beautiful.

It always looks lovely on the photo's or christmas cards, but in reality--- ugh!
Its the ice thats the worse so really hoping that the forecasters are over reacting after the last lot!
I'd tie the aucuba as Tt says and in the spring you'll probably see new shoots to prune to

Sorry you have lost some fish, you did get alot of snow hate the stuff, keeping my fingers crossed we dont get any again this time aswell, all the best for xmas.

Hi SB,sorry to hear about the fish & all your snow,we have been lucky ..so far.i also would do as TT has said i dont think i would prune it yet.great photos of your garden i hope the snow goes quickly for you and dont worry those..insects..pests will soon be back sorry to say. :o))

wow so much sea,,, none yet here but forcast, just hope its not alot as joe coming home saturday, so fingers crossed or we will all be so upset :o(

make it early San-- or could you make it on friday--or even tonight-- it looks bad ( just heard the forecast and wanted to warn--not worry)

thanks for the comments.
the 'shed' is a rabbit run for the pet bunnies, when the weather is nice.

The fence would fall down if I tried to tie anything to it! OH was meant to replace it 9months ago.....

btw- sleet from 11 this am.
grass is patchy green/white.

arrived here this afternoon --about like you I think-- thats enough now!

there is at least 3/4 of the garden still under snow from last time. My car is white over now [7pm]. I am sitting in front of a roaring fire aaahhhhh :o)

Hi You have had a lot more snow where you live ,like someone said its nice to see on Christmas cards but not much fun if to have to travel anywhere .
Wishing you a happy and warm Christmas ,thanks for leaving me a comment :o)

you are welcome Jean seasons greetings.

Fortunately, for us, we haven't had more than a couple of cm of snow. Last Thursday evening we had a heavy shower & it's rests are still hanging around. With the heavy frosts we have had it's no surprise!

Today we were forecast possible snow in the afternoon but so far, 9.15pm, it hasn't put in an appearance! :-))

Happy Christmas!
