Another week of storms left us battered by the winds of Dudley, then shivering in the snow brought by Eunice. I nipped out to get some pics from the garden on Friday afternoon before the snow turned to slush. So here’s my snowy #SixonSaturday.

First is footprints in the snow. There’s been a pheasant about, but next to him must the hare-prints. I saw a shadow flick past the bedroom window this morning, I think it must have been the hare.

After biding its time, my favourite hellebore is doing the biz, standing out proud against a slightly slushy background.

After a veg growing exchange on twitter, I was persuaded to move a few pak choi from the greenhouse, to a sheltered corner, to encourage them not to bolt. I was promised that they are frost-hardy. We shall see.

Nearby I spotted a sulking primula. I’m hoping this little beauty will make it through the cold and wind too.

The garden path robin has turned into ‘its a hold-up-robin’. Each time I venture onto the path it leaps out in front of me and demands goodies. I’d like to think this one ‘has character’….certainly keeps my mood up.

As we’re still bang in the middle of snowdrop season, I’ll end this week with snowdrops in the snow.

That’s my chilly #SixonSaturday for this week. We’ve weathered 5 storms now this winter, and have been incredibly lucky to lose just a few plants, whilst keeping the house intact. I hope others can stay the same. Stay safe, and don’t forget to follow the crowd on twitter and via the web from links to the originator of #SixonSaturday, the Propagator himself.
