I didn’t think we would be posting another weather impact notice at this stage of March, the poor Daffodils ! The backlog from the previous weather issues has just about been cleared, and normality resumed, then more snow arrives.
Over the weekend there has been heavy snowfall in many parts of the UK, however, the South and South West of England have been severely impacted.
