New paintings and regular art updates.
It was hailing earlier, then a great shower of rain and then the sun came out. That sort of weather when it doesn’t know what it’s doing… Leaves are still on the plants and flowers too. Mainly because it’s been cloudy at night, keeping the heat in a bit. The lowest temperature I’ve seen was about 5.2°C in the middle of the night.
My hanging baskets are looking a bit bedraggled but we will see what happens over the next few days. Life cycles round, winter arrives later every year…
But don’t get excited! It’s wet and about an inch deep. But something we were going to tonight has been cancelled because of it.
Meanwhile over in Europe this week the snow fell so heavily that roofs have collapsed and people have been killed in avalanches.
Britain is situated in the Atlantic ocean in the gulf stream. We only rarely have a lot of snow so we are a bit out of practice with it. No one puts snow chains on car tyres, we don’t possess snow shoes, and the only time skis are worn is when people go up to the (mainly) Scottish mountains in the middle of winter.
Anyway an inch of snow is the most we have had so far this year. If it’s pretty in the morning I will take better photos.
