December 2001

Weather, visitors, work and Christmas did not leave much time for gardening. The garden was bathed in snow for a few days during the middle of December, looking very beautiful. The snowfall was not too heavy so there was little risk of damage to the boughs of the trees and shrubs. No need to rush out and rescue the plants!

We did take delivery of a rather large (10’x16’) timber shed. This was relatively easy to erect with the help of our nephews. Problems with missing parts and roofing felt that was too short delayed the completion of the project. Once finished, it was quickly filled with tools and other gardening equipment. The completed shed also meant that the last boxes were unpacked from the move last month.
