When will we get our garden back?

Sleet does not conceal the endless machinations of these once much loved gardens that have just been re-turfed but will have no snowdrops or daffodils again this year. Note the memorial benches still disrespectfully upturned?
Bus into town in the morning. Settling snow in Portobello during the afternoon. Wind chill has hovered round -5 most of the day.
The stove is our best winter friend. More logs ordered this evening!
