Frozen veggies

We've had an icy blast come up from the south.

Invercargill, a city down to the south of us, has had a late bout of snow. I'm right now sitting here typing to the sound of hail on the roof.

Hailstones among the cranberries...I was intending to freeze some, but this wasn't what I had in mind

My little potted garden didn't expect this! But it is only September! Last year we had unseasonal snow as late as 5th of November.

If it does get colder, I can bring some of the more delicate species (like my Meyer lemon) inside.

Only yesterday, the temperature was climbing nicely, and a few game students were outing their lily white legs in shorts and skirts. I think they'll be back in their thermals today.

The Metservice is saying that we can expect snow to affect the high roads. I don't know whether that means us or not - we're about 120 metres / 400 feet above sea level. I guess we'll find out!
