White Valley

I didn't think, on Sunday, that we'd be long spared the snow, and so today is no surprise. Heavy snow overnight, and the valley has turned white.

We were working from home, so I went out mid-morning to knock the snow from the fruit cages, and take some photos of the house and garden. It's quite an amusing opportunity to do a series on the construction of the raised vegetable beds, in fact.

The first, obviously, is actually from before constructing the fruit cages. I was struck by their appearance in the snow, which rather obscures the fact that they're not quite full enough of soil—but also stops you seeing the rapidly establishing green manure. Hopefully it's grown enough to cope with the cold; I suspect the geraniums in the front garden, which were still alive at the weekend, may now have had it.
