Has spring arrived? Well it has certainly felt like it's here these past few days. Today reminds me of an English summer's day. February was unusually cold. We had a long spell of freezing temperatures. Sardinia was almost covered in snow, the only place it didn't arrive was here in the South West. I was shocked to see that Alghero airport closed due to snow and the famousCosta Smeraldaon the North East had a blanket of the white stuff.However that's all gone now and the trees and flowers are blossoming. From a distance the flowers on the almond trees look like Cherry Blossom and they radiate a lovely perfume. The almonds are usually ready for picking in August and September.

It'll be another couple of months before I'm ready to take a dip.Calm waters
