+8.5C ATM here in Haytor at 1230, you'd hate it! :-)

And I suspect it is howling a hooley too? It's a bit on the breezy side down
here.

I was thinking yesterday how everything seemed to catch up quickly, i.e.,
the spring. Things seem quite advanced now. The silver maple tree in the
garden is now in full leaf, that's over a week earlier than last year. Also
the bluebells seem to be a little earlier than usual and have been at their
best for a while now. The may blossom in the lane has been out for well over
a week, so now I can cast my clouts with impunity.
