With flowers still attached to protect from the frost it withstands the cold as does the Bergenia behind which wilts its huge leaves. The water tap in the tack room had frozen overnight and broken one of the connections underneath so as it thawed the water started to leak out. The water supply was turned off nearer to the house and the repair will have to wait for a plumber. As the water butts are all full this shouldn’t be too much of a problem as long as they don’t stay frozen. A very cold day with mist and light snow showers.
