It was Thursday night, and as I checked the weather forecast
for Saturday I felt sure that the prediction of a little light snow would not
stop our band of trusty green-fingered gardeners. After all, we had had our
most productive day yet the last time it snowed. I was resolute. A little white
powder wouldn’t stop us. The allotment would be on!...
…As I shivered and wrapped my duvet around me tighter early
on Saturday morning, I decided to peek out of the window to see what the
weather was like. I awoke to a gardener’s worst nightmare: a thick blanket of
crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape, with not a single inch
of colour to be seen. It was snowing heavily and I could barely make out the
houses across the road. The allotment would have to be cancelled. Mother Nature
had caught us out this time. After alerting everybody of the cancellation
(which came as a surprise to no-one!), I dived back under the covers and hoped
our vegetables were better at withstanding the cold than us mere humans.
