Spring is finally here ?

[Woodworks]

All seems very odd at the moment. Yesterday felt like a mid summers day but there is not a leaf to be seen. Looks like that is all about to change in the next few days thankfully.

Next week you will all be searching for your pullovers and gloves!

This was taken on Friday April 13th showing the max temp at 34.3 degrees C

On that day I did my morning bike ride in shorts and T shirt

Today we are back to 5 degrees and I have put my heavy pullover plus wax jacket and gloves on for the bike ride

That old saying is true!

Heard the cuckoo last week, not heard it since, too cold again.

Having quickly become accustomed to 25-27 degrees a few days ago this morning I feel cold in the house . If I light the stove it will be too hot though .

I can hardly hear myself think through all the activity around me.Woodpeckers,doves etc. So much now in leaf here in the Beautiful North.
