Another sign of spring arriving in Wiltshire. The Snowdrops and crocuses have been around for a few weeks but these are the first daffodils in our garden so far.
MOTH and I just took a lovely walk, and I didn't see any sign of snow, saw lots of spring flowers, and as for the cold -- well, it's all in her head! I'll take California temps anyday!
I wonder what qualifies as 'cold' is in California? I was amazed to see people wearing scarves and gloves when we English were walking about in our tee shirts in a similarly 'warm' country. I imagine Canadians find this too. Thanks MA-J, ain't digital cameras wonderful.

Bookshelves in nearly every room of the house, from Blyton to Einstein. Spent most of my working life training adults in geeky stuff, from basic electrics to computer systems. My heroes are, amongst others, Richard Feynman, Freeman Dyson and Eric Laithwaite and if you don’t need to look them up in Wikipedia then you are my kind of geek. .
Ah, spring at last and St. David's day is on it's way. Kay brought cold and rain as well as snow in the mountains. Thinking of sending her back!!!
ReplyDeleteI get blamed for everything around here.

The sun was out here yesterday and it actually felt like Spring might be in with a chance. Nice photo.

Cold in California is anything below 65 degrees -- especially if there is a cold wind blowing.
