Across the pond

It won’t stop you getting pneumonia or cancer, but it will reduce the chances of your becoming a charge on the mental health services of the NHS.

The picture was taken by me in my dressing gown early Thursday morning. The weather caused me to abandon a planned meet-up with my sister in Glorious Devon. But an hour or two later Spring arrived. The sun not only melted all the snow on the beach, but it enabled me to turn off the central heating for the rest of the day.

Tomorrow may see me in Devon, but the forecast is heavy driving rain. So I won’t know whether I am going until tomorrow morning when my sister and I can swap information on what the weather is actually doing.
