Default Cornwall in mid winter

Amazingly there is a hottentot fig in flower in the
latest batch of photos. It is a meditteranean climate (from S African)
plant, which normally flowers in Summer, not January.

The hottentot figs at the back of the beach in Budleigh have a few flowers
on them too. They did at this time last year as well but the year before
they didn't produce any flowers until well into the spring.

Lovely sunny morning here.

Currently (09:15), 7.4C, RH 84%, DP 5.0C, 1027.9 hPa (S), Wind 2 mph S.
