Thanks

Just returned from La Plagne.

Even with snow tyres, but no chains, on the untreated climb last night it was interesting to say the least - mostly 2nd gear and with traction control permanently cutting in.

On the straight and flat it might have been OK, but this has 22 hairpins and climbs about 1200M.

The return this morning was ploughed and gritted - thankfully.

@exile If you click on the photo, it rotates automatically - it's because it's a portrait-style photo !
No snow here, just a cold north wind and sun !

A case of same as last year.
Minus 3.5 c last night so once again no fruit on pears or plums, apples only just in bud so keeping fingers crossed.

It started here last night .. at times I thought the roof was going to fly off. Happily not.
More of the same today and tomorrow .. oh joy.

We enjoyed an "un-forecasted" thunder storm yesterday evening. I put un-forecasted in inverted commas since it was not forecast when the first clap of thunder was heard. Of course I disconnected from the telephone network (still copper here) and by the time I had reconnected after the storm had abated, lo we were forecast to have a thunderstorm.

Some of that storm has perhaps reached us early. It rained and blew a gale all night and is doing just that right now with no sign of abating.

Foul here at the moment in Correze. Grey, leaden sky, heavy rain and gusts up to around 50k. I think we'll pass on our usual daily walk.
