The Frost Has Gone

For the time being the Snow and Frost have gone and I have noticed in my garden the new shoots of Spring so to speak, bulbs growth is now breaking through along with new shoots on other plants. The bad weather so far has taken it's toll on our roads and I am pretty certain that to catch up with  repairs will  take rather a long time especially if we have a repeat of the bad weather we experienced before and after Christmas. The one problem I suspect is how all these repairs are to be paid for bearing in mind the cuts to Local Government Spending. Already there are signs that across the country budget cuts will affect road maintenance, I suspect this may well become an issue in the forthcoming local elections.
