Welcome, Oakwoodbank! You are not an interloper as we do have other members from around the world. Think of the site as a nation of plant lovers, without geographical boundaries.
Your raised beds, using stone, are quite attractive and a rest for the eyes compared to the rigid lines of wood.
The snow photo you posted is so natural and so beautiful. There has to be a good reason for snow. Resting the eyes on the beauty of your surroundings is one valid reason!
Enjoy the site and all it offers to gardeners everywhere.
