Not long ago ago I was asked by the Westmorland Gazette whether I’d suffered any catastrophes in my garden and this was my reply: “The biggest catastrophe is the one which is about to happen. I’ve got a lot of tender plants and I know that one of these days we’ll get a really cold snap which will wipe everything out”. Talk about tempting fate! These words were published on 10th December and fate was obviously paying attention for once because we have since suffered the coldest weather in ten years, with a succession of frosts at minus 7 C followed by three heavy snowfalls. Here’s a slideshow of my garden on the morning of the Winter Solstice, accompanied by ‘In the Cold, Cold Night’, by the White Stripes.
