It's going to be a high of 11 C today. I'm freezing my arse off even in my office because the heating only works on one side of the building.

We have frosts that are as low as -6 Celsius so that cuts down on the number of blooms we can have then. There are some winter bulbs, plus camellias and rhododendrons I suppose but the garden usually goes into hibernation. I have fruit trees and a few other deciduous trees so they're all bare and cold.
