As for Normandy, I am not yet in a position to complain about or to
praise its climate. The first frost passed and there appear to be few
insects left. However, planting trees and harvesting “Jerusalem
artichokes” (and I thought Topinambour were a strange name) is fun in
this weather.

But definitely, me too, I cannot remember many automns like this one.
There was, though, a 24 of December, in Bavaria (Germany) with Joggers
all over the town, cabriolets and beer-gardens reopened...

The first virtual climatic shocks are announced for around 2020.
