Shush, it's still winter

The birds are making a lot of noise. They seem to think that the winter is over. Baby Redstart came to visit the kitchen; I wonder if he's thinking of using one of the terrace nests next year.

In the last two weeks there have been very cold nights, with frost on three nights which is most unusual here. Then at last there was rain and the temperature shot up. Now the clouds have passed; it's sunny and still warm. I'm sitting in a pool of sunlight in the salon, with the outside door open.

Oh, and the hazelnut has catkins on it!
