The sun poked through a few times today, in between the clouds. It's still a few degrees above zero, so not too bad. Some of my pot plants out in the greenhouse are showing signs of coming to life. I'm really looking forward to my first spring in England! We started to prepare for that today by buying some things from the hugest garden centre I've ever seen, near Taunton. We've bought a heated propagating thingy that we can grow seedlings in so that we can get a head start on growing our veggies, a long hose, and some other bits and pieces.

There are so many grey days and not many sunny ones, that I really feel happier when I do see the sun. What a difference from the way things have been in Sydney lately, with the heatwave! Glad you have a cool change now, freda. I don't like having to cope with that kind of heat. If only it could all be evened out around the world - not possible of course.
