First frost of the winter







Today, 1 December, we woke up to the first frost of the winter. The thatched roof was frosted, the pond frozen over and the summer plants damaged beyond revival. But the frost did not hurt our winter flowering jasmine, with its lovely little yellow flowers. Frosty weather makes a pleasant change after the wind and rain of the last two weeks - some parts of the UK recorded their highest ever rainfall and several bridges were swept away by floodwater.
