So. There it is.

Looks like...
A) ''They'' got it right for a change and not an April fools' line like the spaghetti tree.
B) We seem to have had what passes for Summer, at least for another few days.

Spent a happy half hour ogling Glen Coe webcams.

Option one was a piece of cheese. 2 X 35gm required, first bit I hacked off = 34gms: next bit off Mozzarella =36gm. Who's a clever budgie then?

I'll tell you what I'd like, what I'd really, really like. To take a successful photo of snow falling, which doesn't look either like a shower of small comets or as if I shot the sky with a lens full of rain spots.

Settled instead for next door's Pieris Forrestii.
