SNOW IN APRIL
What a difference a day makes! What a bigger difference a week makes!
Was it only a week or a couple of weeks ago that the UK was enjoying the temperatures and sunshine that we would more expect in June. Now we have taken a giant step backwards to what feels like January. Maybe by this time next week all will be sunny again. But will our spring flowers, and the young shoots of the roses and herbaceous plants that were fooled into thinking it was summer already, survive the weight of the snow? Time will tell. This morning...
This afternoon: decided it wise to knock the snow off the flowers and the bird feeder... Although it looks to be thawing, it is still snowing. Stop it. Stop it.
