Back to wintry weather again.

Tweet

Last month we had some unusually severe winter weather here – no snow, but much harder frosts than usual. Then that passed and we had a spell of really mild weather over Christmas, which was pleasant and made life easy but was also peculiar, being unseasonal. Plants started to grow again and the birds were singing and carrying on as if spring was just around the corner. After that we’ve had a week or so of mild but very wet weather, leading to mud everywhere and not being able to leave the house without head-to-toe waterproofs. And now we are suddenly plunged into winter again, with hard frosts sealing everything up once more. At least it makes everything nice and clean again and the clear skies mean a bit of sun today, but the variability is a bit difficult! All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2023.
