What a difference!
I had to brush off my bamboo, it was bent double,
Your mahonia was lovely and at least the snow will insulate everything against the frost

We do get some strange shapes when the snow piles up on the pots and suchlike, your house looks good, it matches mine lol..I did brush off a couple of planters and baskets yesterday but that was to sprinkle some mealy worms for the robins, hoping to foil the starlings, normally I leave well alone and let it thaw gradually...

Ah Hywel I did think about you when I put the blog and pics on here I was thinking you were not going to like them with all the snow lol, so glad you liked the before ones the Mahonia pic was taken in Dec :o)

Lincs the birds are there by the minute...all sorts, I don't have Starlings here, there is no sign of a thaw even though the sun shone late afternoon again today, more snow is forecast so the white blanket remains yet awhile :o)

Than you for liking Drc and Moti :o)
