Well it's taken long enough, but spring is finally here. [STOP PRESS: SINCE I WROTE THIS, IT'S BECOME COLD AND WET AGAIN. GRRR!]
It had better be a decent summer. We certainly deserve it after the long and cold few months we've put up with.
The poor weather over the last year or two has effected farmers and food prices have increased as a result. The Belleville veg garden suffered too. It was all a bit bleak.
The effect of climate change and global warming isn't being kind to us in the UK if you believe the experts. Which I tend to do.
