A walk round shows that the shrubs are ahead of the flowers - viburnum, having weathered frost, snow and rain is scenting the garden with its very 'pink' smell. I prefer the more restrained winter honeysuckle with pale yellow flowers.
Winter on the Island is generally mild - back to form now, thank goodness ! Those who are feeling the need to get some fresh air can enjoy the wide open spaces and beauty of the countryside by day, and some spectacular skies by night. Island beaches are always great for family walks, just remember the wellington boots.
