The weather is wild tonight – horizontal rain, thunder, lightning and very windy. Tin roofs make it sound worse than it is – a bit like tents! Today has been a bit like a weather sandwich…we awoke to heavy rain but by lunchtime the sky was blue, fluffy white clouds scudded around and the sun was shining. I was tempted out for a wee walk, a bit of fresh air. Not sure that nature quite knows what to make of this winter. There was definitely a touch of spring in the air. Magnolia trees in flower, camellia bushes boasting splashes of bright colour, jonquils bursting bright yellow and birds chirping and chatting when they can in between the rain showers.
I love the delicate colours of this Hebe and its shadow on the lichen encrusted bright blue of the letterbox. (please correct me if I’m wrong and it isn’t a Hebe!)
