It does seem like labour at the moment, doesn’t it? (I listen to international weather forecasts on BBC! )
Ah, but the end-product is ever so lovely, and worth all the trouble! It was downright beautiful today. It was my turn for outdoor recess supervision and it was no hardship at all to stand out in the sunshine!!

I hear you. Believe me… 🙂
