The poor garden has definitely been beaten up by all that snow.
Shrubs and small trees are squashed, knocked over, flattened.
The pond we think was frozen almost down to the bottom and the fish all seem to be encased in solid ice. I assume they are frozen too. This is a bit sad, but I suppose it means we'll finally be able to empty the pond, fix it and start again.
The cabbages are all battered and looking very sad. The carrots have emerged unscathed - we had some with our dinner last night. The chard are very, very dead.
The chickens are much happier now that the snow has gone, but their garden is extremely muddy. I think this worries me much more than it worries them!!
We haven't made it to the allotment yet. After the snow there was ice. After the ice there was fog. And now it's raining. Maybe tomorrow
