There is still no sign of winter weather, and what is particularly unusual is that there has been no frost at all in December – will it come?

And this can easily be seen in the garden – the snowdrops are coming up, and other winter-flowering plants are budding or blooming.

This is the last update of this part of the website here in 2025 – thank you for this year, and we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
