Not as bad as last winter when we got down to -15 though!!!<br /><br />I will indeed be doing a post on the finishing off of the tea house very soon. It is a thing of beauty and is now in work as my treatment room - I do reiki, reflexology and teach tai chi. (It's a bit cosy for tai chi, but do-able on a 1-1 basis)<br /><br />I've promised Bilbo Waggins a post on finishing off the pond extension, then I'll do the tea house post!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-2191691578820997912012-02-11T17:21:34.101+00:002012-02-11T17:21:34.101+00:00Please tell your snow to send some to Virginia/DC!...Please tell your snow to send some to Virginia/DC!!

You're right about having plenty of winters without snow and last year was a bit excessive snow-wise, but this year - round here anyway, has definitely been very mild. I can't remember another winter in the 10 years we've been in this house that I've been able to garden without 83 layers on in December! :)Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-71041835775637793472012-02-07T03:29:32.456+00:002012-02-07T03:29:32.456+00:00thank you for sharing your fairyland garden that i...thank you for sharing your fairyland garden that is completely foreign to anything I have ever experienced.

More snow and severe cold is forecast here, but I don't think we'll reach last year's dizzy heights of -15 and 2" of snow!<br /><br />It's still a bit of a shock to the system after our ridiculously warm winter so far - and I suspect that all the flowers that had bloomed early will be shrivelled up and feeling very sorry for themselves right now! :(Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292808539041077623.post-26706559037999688542012-02-06T09:28:15.964+00:002012-02-06T09:28:15.964+00:00Hi Bilbo - my inner 8 year old would be well hacke...Hi Bilbo - my inner 8 year old would be well hacked off at knowing that there was snow in the country but not where I was!!!<br /><br />Nala has only just been allowed to start going out (now she's been 'done'!), so the change was a shock to her at first.

The accident was on the other side, fortunately, but it had taken them 1&1/2 hours by that point and they were still on the Sheffield ring road!<br />Not sure you're going to get your rain today either...it's forecast to drop to about -7 again and it keeps trying to snow again here!

Berling is so cold - minus 17°C sometimes in daytime, though dry and sunny - that even an ardent walker like me only skips out for a few minutes.
