I came into Suntrap today, I wasn’t sure if I would make it or not. I knew the bypass would be clear but I wasn’t sure about the road round to the garden. I needn’t have worried it was easy.
Once I got out of the car the garden was so peaceful, not a sound, just peace and quiet that only comes when it’s been snowing and the lovely crunching noise when you’re the first person to step in the snow.
It snowed all day and the garden just got whiter and whiter.
