Would you credit it, more snow. I just got the Wisteria sorted out and gave it a heavy mulch and by the time I had finished I looked like a snowman!  Retreating into the garage I spent the rest of the afternoon rubbing down the garden furniture whilst the under gardener worked on the mowers.  Needed, I know, but both were not the most stimulating jobs.  Will someone please get rid of this snow. 

I could not believe just how fast the snow went and almost overnight birds were singing and snowdrops were pushing their way through the leaves and buds every where.
