Month: January 2026

We have snow ! For many of you it may be normal to have snow in Winter but we haven’t had snow for many years now, at least not snow that stayed for days. As we are not used to having snow it is a problem over here, especially when you live in a village but even in the cities it is a problem and there are very long traffic jams on the highways. The roads are very slippery and in the hospitals they have their hands full with broken arms and legs or worse. But it is pretty and if you can stay inside a warm house and look in the garden , then it looks fantastic.

Today I took a few pictures for you.

This pot is home to several succulents, luckily they are winter hardy. It stands on the garden table.

Another view in my garden when it was snowing this morning.

The holly tree still has a lot of berries, that is because we feed the birds all year round.

Even the verbena bonariensis is still standing.

Apparently we are going to get more snow in the comming days and severe frost, with a severe storm predicted for Friday. It could be rain or snow, I hope it will be rain !! Next week we’ll have “warmer weather” and rain.

Take care and thanks for visiting.
