December brought some severely cold weather to the UK, and for several days Cambridge was covered in a blanket of snow. Colours and scents were still in evidence in the Wolfson Winter Garden though, as seen in these examples:

There's plenty of interesting colour to delight the eyes once the autumn leaves have fallen. Look out for these and other gems in the Winter Garden (behind the Lee Hall, near the Tennis Courts) to brighten up the cold winter days.
