This photo was taken a couple of days ago in front of our home in France.
But this (below) is how I like to think of things. I'm fed-up with this cold weather, I want it to be Summer.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Don't we all!!
ReplyDeleteDeamin', dreamin', dreamin'.
DeleteHeard France was getting it in the neck. And not only the weather. No snow in Brighton?
ReplyDeleteDays are getting longer. 2 months till spring??
We had a tiny bit before Christmas (12th Dec), but none since. I'm urging those 2 months to pass as quickly as possible.
DeleteAnd now over to the BBC's correspondent in the Périgord region of France. Can you hear me Roger? How is it over there?
ReplyDelete"It's hot. Bloody hot!"
More from Roger tomorrow.
We all like a bit of heat, but when it's really hot we're not so keen.
DeleteDear Cro, throw on another jumper. :)
ReplyDeleteI already look like Bibendum. I'm not sure I can add any more!
DeleteWe are in the last stretch of Winter and it is tiring. Most snow has fallen after December, just when we long for Spring. Sunshine and warm beaches sound delightful. The fix is a flight to warmer climates.
ReplyDeleteI'm a July baby, and I think it has an effect on my intolerance of Winter. Me and Summer go hand in hand.
DeleteWell, Cro, your video is very similar to the view I looked out on this morning - blue pool, blue sky and sunshine, except that it was precisely +3ºC! Warmed up quite a bit during the day and it's now +9ºC - positively tropical!
ReplyDeleteAnd did you swim??? I never enter ours unless it reaches a minimum of 21 C.
Delete35C in the shade is just about what we have here in Adelaide today, 39C out of the shade, so not much difference there. If I had a pool I would be jumping in too.
ReplyDeleteFar too hot for me, I'm a 25 C boy!
