A proverb starts: Winter in summer until Midsummer. Today I'll change it: Winter in spring until summer. The weather should be like spring, but there's a cold wind today. I do not feel warm. Yesterday, however, the sun shone and I saw the first peacock butterfly of the year. I had to rescue it from the conservatory. It was too hot under the glass roof. The sky is grey today, but it was blue yesterday. There is blossom on the wild prunus and, look, there's a bluetit singing on the topmost branch. Some lanes are sheltered and their hedges are more advanced. There are already yellow-green flowers on the Alexanders (horse parsley). This is the road towards Ventongimps and here is one of the springs in the hedge. (It's not spectacular!)
