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.

Interesting, although we live very near it hasn't frozen yet or even
gotten very close. And there are an amazing amount of mosquitoes and
gnats: I can't ever remember so many in this season (usually don't get
that many mosquitoes at all). There will be at least one more mow of the
lawn, I did one this past WE in spite of the wet.

You're up on me, I haven't started the planting yet. Did you get the
medlar in?

cheers,
