Totally OT but I've never known the palm trees so smothered in flowers.

The largest tree in our garden, which after many years without a severe
winter is now well 20 feet tall, is a mass of flowers, and the scent
is amazing.

The photo was taken around 15:00BST today, notice the deep blue colour
of the sky. Absolutely fantastic now the dirty air has been pushed away
eastwards.
