I suppose the only good thing about the snow is the dog does not get so dirty when taken for a walk!  I had to brush snow of many of the fir trees and box hedging before it did any damage.  I also now have two heaters going in the greenhouse and have delayed sowing any seeds till next week at the earliest.  I always find this time of year hangs a bit, however with the nights getting longer there are jobs to do if only I could get out there.  It is all well and good having tidy draws in the kitchen but I have things to do outside.  I have started checking the weather reports very carefully trying to find a chance to continue working on the bank garden.  I need to crack on with this as the rest of the garden will very soon be waking up and then oh boy if I am not careful it gets out of control in no time.
