More frosty weather coming soon...

If you've brought out your cool cottons, put them right back in.

The forecast for tonight is a severe minus eight in some parts of the UK. While we've been having some frost over the last few days and the temperatures have certainly fallen again, minus eight is something I haven't seen yet. The South East is likely to be spared, as usual, so if you're up north, wrap up warm.

The early spring flowers are out, though. Snowdrops were in bloom since early last week and daffodils have shown up in shops (and on our dining table), although I've yet to see them in the wild.
