Nice and sunny and lush.
We still have the treat of snow this weekend and loads of trees dont have a bud on them yet.

I can assure you it was a somewhat anomalous day, we had an insane weekend with the Saturday being 24c , the temperature slid down to a comfortable 18 for that day, t shirt sleeves and sunblock all the same...

It has, however reverted back to grey and chilly still i guess you need the chaff to make you appreciative of the wheat...
