Nous sommes le mercredi vingt sept janvier

Warm enough to sit out and eat, warm enough to fence up a bit of new pasture for the donkeys, warm enough for the hyacinths and the odd rose.
 Are we sure it is still January?
As we sat in the garden yesterday afternoon with a cup of tea it was hard to believe.
For those new here  to SW France, lovely though it is, the weather is unusual.
Our first year here 14 years ago, we had sunny days like this in February and we have had the odd good weeks in the winter over the years, but after  a sunny run up to Christmas one really did not expect it to go on.
Now you must be glad you did not go off to Spain, the rain in Spain is mainly on the plain, but it is not here in France at the moment.
And another sunny day forecast today for my 70th birthday
