All my plants are in their winter quarters - cold frames where they are kept completely dry for 3 winter months. Need no attention whatever from me. And stuff all else is being posted by the regular contributors here - just winter time I guess.

So I will now post a pic of something totally different - my Christmas cake for 2018. I baked it at the start of November - fed it with brandy and sherry for a month, then marzipanned it and this weekend iced it with Royal icing. It will be gorgeous.
