7:00 Sunday. Bright sun, but cold. The allotment is mainly brown.
8:30 Sunday. it’s all white.
17:00 Sunday. It’s brown again.

Thus was my plot on April 9. Planning to put in second early spuds the area turned into a Winter Wonderland. Luckily the video blog will show all the beauty of fresh snow in spring. This time we didn’t have the nasty grey slush and ice that usually comes with snow in Surrey.

Having missed out on the last lot of snow we all had a great time with snowball fights, building snowmen etc.

A couple of days later at the allotment … the plants seemed to survive. Someone has put in some sturdy looking peas - they survived 15cm of snow.

Let’s hope we get the usual weather from now on.

If you want to know what the weather will be then read Diary of an Edwardian Lady. Written exactly 100 years ago she describes snow in early April. See what she says about the summer!

Until the next time
