spring.... well maybe one day

No, I haven’t just been lazy and re-posted the winter photo under a different heading. What you are looking at is the second month of what’s supposed to be spring. At the start of winter we were doing okay. 7 degrees isn’t really that much colder than 13 degrees, and you can even get used to 2 and 3 degree weather after awhile. So yes, during October, November, December, even January, we thought we were doing fine. We even became so cocky as to appreciate the experience of a ‘real winter’ – going so far as to suggest that reports about the horridness of London winters were perhaps a tad exaggerated. But you see, that was before we realised that the winter was NEVER GOING TO END. It’s actually gotten worse – February and March have not only been cold, but rainy and windy as well. If you look really, really closely at the tree you may be able to make out tiny, tiny buds starting to appear. We continue to live in hope.
