It is November…No its not…Oh yes it is!

Dark grey, Misty, Damp and Cold….it has to be November.  Well that is very much what it feels and looks like…..Yet it is the 12th April and supposedly Spring.  True, we have just enjoyed 3 days of sunshine that tempted us to think that spring was on the way but down by the lake this morning it is much more like November……

April-or-November

And it is not just me that has been fooled.  This normally ‘randy’ Mallard Drake should be chasing the ducks all over the lake to show off his sexual prowess rather than skulking about on his lonesome…..

April-or-November-DrakeAs someone much wiser than I said….”We have just had Spring (the last 3 days) we are now giving Summer and Autumn a miss and going straight back to Winter”. They may just be right!
