Vertical rain!...

... That may not seem worthy of note to you, dear reader, but after weeks of it coming at us horizontally from the west, believe me, it is! :-)

No snowdrops for Chandeleur, but instead we have two clumps of primroses in flower, one at the foot of the smaller apple tree, the other by the birds' feeding station. 

Spring is on its way, although starting cold, according to MeteoFrance: we're due for a cold snap next week by the look of it, so I'll be getting the garden fleece out to protect the flower buds on the other bulbs.

Can't wait to actually get out into the garden and do some proper work...

Meanwhile we're snug inside, and will be enjoying our pancakes later!

    What is "Chandeleur"? And why are you eating pancakes? Not that there is anything wrong with pancakes at any time of the year :-D

    Hello A. Tuin. Thanks for your comment/question. Chandeleur is Candlemas, which is Imbolc, which is Brigid's Day... Have a look at my blog 'Celebrating the Year' and you'll see a piece about it.
    We shall have more pancakes soon for Shrove Tuesday, to use up our fat and dairy/eggs before the Lenten Fast. Yum. But it may seem Slow of course :-)
