Let it snow…
Posted on | December 18, 2009 | 4 Comments
I just had to do a quick blog on the snow that landed in the garden this morning, and no, nothing like they have had further south, but pretty never-the less. For some reason visitors to the garden think it never snows here – or even gets cold! Yes it does and here is the proof…
Apart from the snow it has been a strange day for me indeed – tacking my youngest cat to the vet to be spayed; having vinyl put down in my bathroom, then a phone call from my father’s rest home to tell me that he probably only has a few days to live – I feel as though I’m in a strange limbo land at the moment – a very odd day indeed.

The garden always looks beautiful and it is enchanting with it’s light dusting of snow.
I’m really sorry to hear about your dad. I think I speak on behalf of all your readers when I say our thoughts are with you at present.

Dear Will,
I’m reading your blog many times in a day, since couple of months. I discovered another way of gardening in your blog. This morning, it snowed in Istanbul just like in your garden; but mine is not so beautiful as yours. I’m so sorry about your father. Oguz

Ryan – Thank you for your kind comment, it’s much appreciated at this time.
Oguz – It’s always good to know that my blog is being read in different parts of the world. Snow in Istanbul – is that rare?

Istanbul’s weather is very unstable in winter. It’s influenced by many different climats so people are always tired because of the pressure and temperature alterations. After the snow of saturday morning, yesterday it was 19 degree C; today at 4 o’clock 2 degree, at 8 o’clock 0 degree and now at 5 o’clock PM 5 degree. So the snow it’s not rare for me; last year the minimal tamperature in my garden was -8 C. With a sudden snow storm, coming from Balkans or Ukraigna or Siberia our daily life in Istanbul can be distroyed.
