The weather this month has been very unseasonal - much too warm and dry! Windows open day and night, no socks, t-shirts ... Probably better than a good summer in Scotland  :P ;D :D Anybody want to swap?

My rock watch tells me that the weather is changing and moss green is everywhere...

The wind is whipping up the clouds down here in Valais too but the snow is finally retreating to the mountain tops and Spring is arriving!
What a fantastic view!  Just what I need to inspire me to book those flights :)  Took a look at the Zermatt webcam archive yesterday .... hope there are more sunny days in late May this year ???

A morning of sunshine and these wild violets were enjoying sunbathing but the weather is so changeable and there is more snow forecast for tomorrow in the Alps!

There's plenty here in Valais, Mark, the Rhone is fast flowing and full of icy water from the mountains :)

We actually had a storm come through here this evening and got a bit of rain.  Quite a heavy downpour.... 12.5mm.  Great stuff!!  To give you an idea of how dry it has been, up until today we'd had less than 20mm in total since late January.  NOT good!  :'(  So today's half hour downpour was well more than half the last 2 months put together.

Rain now falling which should revive the plants in pots. Just like last year Crocus leaves are turning brown very quickly

So don't you actually hand water things?  Or is the concept alien enough in your climate that you rarely do it?  Oh to not have to spend so much time watering!!!!!  ::)

I tend not to  ::) but would rather go out with a bucket of water and plunge pots for maybe 10 seconds each
