The worst is my new pear tree which did have pears on for the first time - I think there are two left. It's been loosened in the ground and I have had to put a new stake to keep it up.
Broad beans all need holding up too.
Buddleia new stems broken down.
And flower pots all round the garden!

Sorry to hear that Alie, what a shame. No damage here just a few pots on their sides and the whippy bits of Wisteria broken..

Canterbury bells broken off at ground level, just before the buds opened, and fosgloves all over the place. Down to one plum left on our baby plum tree, so that will be a real treat when it ripens!

Hanging baskets took a bit of a hammering,we have six of them all aroung the garden but I can ressurect them may have to replant some trailers but I am waiting until I am sure the weather has changed for the better.

Small plum tree blown over, herbacious border flat and broad beans also horizontal but runner bean wigwams and the nets that support my sweet peas and peas stayed vertical.

Picked up sufficient twigs and small branches to provide kindling for the three evenings when we have lit our wood burner. Still according to my husband it snowed in North Bucks on Coronation Day.
