Cold weather hit in earnest this morning. Even when Jane and I took a walk down to town in the afternoon, many of the pavements were still very icy. I’m glad I found time earlier this week to pop down and put some frost protection over tender plants at the allotment! It should be a little warmer this time next week but the forecasts suggest we’ve got some colder temperatures to get through as well as overnight precipitation which, if it doesn’t fall as snow, certainly isn’t going to make those paths less hazardous!
