It has not got above freezing here for three days now and looks unlikely that the temperature will get into positive territory until later next week. This is a really rare event down here.Rob (ourfrenchgarden)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05087218232138304239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-47783680389328057082012-02-04T11:18:17.363+01:002012-02-04T11:18:17.363+01:00Hi Christiane and thanks.
