Spring watch

I know I keep harping on about it, but it was noticeably spring-like in Edinburgh today. Sunny, no real bite to the air, the ice on the canal breaking up and melting, and the daffodils already coming out. Maybe it's just to remind us that Britain has the most confusing weather in Europe, what with heavy snow causing chaos in the south of England today. I expect we'll see a hurricane next week to blow all the daffodils away. Or a heatwave. Good thing I haven't yet got around to putting away my summer clothes for the season.
