And then it snowed!

 


A rather strange day weather wise today.  At 8.30 this morning, though we had had a frost it was feeling warm in the sun as there was no wind.  Two hours later and the wind had sprung up and an hour after that, the first hailstones made an appearance.  This afternoon we have had snow off and on, and the lawn is still white in places.


Everywhere was looking Christmassy!  Though I have a Tulip out - I shall blame that for bringing the snow in April!


Through the kitchen window - poor daffodils.  I had not covered up Podophyllum Spotty Dotty at this point and the poor plant can't have enjoyed this much.


Above and below: the view from the bathroom window - gradually the snow slowed down and blue skies appeared and Aberedw became visible again.


The replacement fencing for the sagging larch lap panels (removed yesterday) has been put up today.  Photos tomorrow.  Progress is being made on the paddock too, which is being cleared of brambles, old bonfire sites and rubble so that we can sow it with grass and wildflower mix and then plant it up in the autumn with young fruit trees.
