I don't know what everybody else is getting weatherwise but here we have a
'Dartmoor clag' sitting about 8" above our heads and not a breath of wind to
blow it away. It's v. depressing and doesn't make any of us feel like
gardening. ;-) The only note of real colour is a lovely big trolley full
of massed primulas - gorgeous! Two or three days ago we had a brilliantly
blue and sunny day and it's frustrating to think it's up there somewhere!

Today, it is beautiful at Norwich. I have just been to my parents'
grave and the churchyard is in bloom with thousands of snowdrops. The
crocus that I planted on the grave are in bloom and I can also see
tete a tete are just about to flower. On my way home, I bought some
tomato seeds and I shall sow these now in the greenhouse where it is
surprising warm inside.

Judith at home

We woke to the most beautiful morning but it had rained in the night so the
drops on the naked branches of the trees, sparkled like diamonds in the
early sunlight - it was a most enchanting sight. Then, as the day has gone
on, it has clouded over and we've had intermittent rain and wind. But at
least I can *see*! The most distant fields and hills are visible whereas
when I posted the original in this thread, they were totally disguised by
low cloud.
