Midwinter spring

The sun, the sun! Glinting off everything, including this forsythia bud in Abergavenny's Linda Vista Gardens. The Blorenge is in the background. For a view of Abergavenny from the Blorenge today look at Douken's great blip.

We got our dose of vitamin D this morning!

"Midwinter spring is its own season
Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
Suspended in time, between pole and tropic."

from Little Gidding, Four Quartets, T S Eliot

This time last year we were on the beach in Perth, where it was summer.
