The day before this, we were in t-shirts enjoying the strange golden light which we have hardly seen this year, (I believe it is called sun) and spreading compost and tidying the herb garden and painting a desk outside. Mmm, we stretch, Spring is here, the worst of the winter behind us...
The next day we find ourselves on a different planet - temperature drops 30 degrees, heavy snow fallen all night and falls all day...Eurostar cancelled after 1 metre falls of snow in Picardie. So not going to England this week, will try again in April (40 degree heatwave, flood, hurricanes?).

The miraculous almond blossom, untouched while other trees are clogged with snow, does it generate heat? |

Olive tree clogged with snow, forsythia clogged with snow etc |

Tea on the terrace? |
