It really felt like Sping to day. Global Warming with a vengeance despite being threatened by the Daily express and AOL weather with the same conditions now being suffered by Muscovites. Here however we bask in 8c and in Moscow -60. No contest really .
But despite the balm it looks like mid winter-the Whiteadder looking especially uninviting through the branches of the great gorge
And the first snow drops have just struggled to the surface but if this is early or late I am not sure not being into that kind of botanical anarakary. If it stays like this the village hall work should proceed apace-we are apparently on schedule according to the official spokesman at today's coffee morning .The floor is up to floor level apparently but still floorless technically apparently-that is good, they say.  ¶ 1:10 PM
