😘 I hadnā€™t noticed.. @rachelbrooks Iā€™m a bit rubbish at following etc as I tend to look at ā€œlatestā€ and see hopefully lots of lovely posts.. (itā€™s not like when you have a Facebook cull and you get a friends request from someone who realises what youā€™ve done!?😂)

This one caught a late frost in May and I didnā€™t think it would recover so very surprised @Jasonsparkes1 that itā€™s looking ok?! Hope yours will bounce back too once you have a thaw?!

I didnā€™t have time to cover it @nessas so am surprised itā€™s ok?! After a sledging party stomping across the garden to the field Iā€™m more worried about whatā€™s underneath the snow, you couldnā€™t see what was lawn what was beds?! Worth it though! 😏
