Hi Martin,

Hope you've survived the cold spell. All over now in Paris.

Toulouse gets some rain but is dryer than Normandy and I expect Brittany
too. Because of the heat it is difficult to grow maples there. They
require a lot of shade and water, whereas in Normandy they can be grown
in full sun. Effectively the strength of the sun is quite strong, which
the Albizia likes. Wish I could grow it.

cheers,
