Comeuppance. . .

This post is for all my Toronto friends who have had to endure me blogging about spring weather and daffodils.  I was sharply reminded of home yesterday as fierce winds and snow blew into Liverpool.  Here's the "spring" camellia bush in our backyard this morning:

And I'm scheduled to go walking in the Lake District tomorrow!  That should be interesting.  In a perfect world, I'd wear my new fair isle hat which I finished this week.  But. . .
