@EricLawton @blogdiva @eclectech We had a very snowy December and the last of *that* had only just melted last week, sigh. However, like you we are on the upswing with long days coming. Our latitude is a little south of Scotland (about the same as Manchester) but being in the middle of a great big continent instead of surrounded by ocean makes winters and summers very different. I hope your burgeoning spring lifts your spirits well!
