Meanwhile in the cold North of England (probably nothing to Yellowknife) the
crocuses are just starting to appear. The temperature has been rising and
spring appears to be approaching. A couple of mornings with thick fog. One
was with the fog lying in the valleys and the Tyne was a grey blanket with
the arch of the Tyne Bridge rising up out of it.
I have yet to spot a lamb but it's just a metter of time.

Lucky you, to live in beautiful Guernsey. Here in Southsea we have a very
mild climate for England - being protected by the cliff of Portsdown Hill to
the north and the Isle of Wight to the south. My lemon trees stay outside
all year round and I had fuschias blooming in the garden well into January,
until the really cold weather began to bite. But nothing compared to the
Channel Islands. I see Condor are offering a return ferry fare from
Portsmouth to Guernsey of £62 - looks tempting, providing the sea is calm -
I am not the best of sailors.
