Good to know, Trysail, thanks.
Weather is a funny thing, Naoko, and probably the reason people love to talk about it so much. I have a few surprise flowers that pop up every year, too. I suppose the birds planted them when I wasn't looking. LOL I would love to get away to an island by myself someday...
parget(2) - noun 1. plaster, whitewash, or roughcast for coating a wall 2. plasterwork esp. in raised ornamental figures on walls
LOL, getting away on my own is a bit of a distant dream for me too these days. I have two days coming up with the Fella still 'working' in Brisbane (last email complaining that it was raining so he couldn't go to the beach ), and the Piglet off camping with the school, I shall have to make hay best I can in the April showers .
I read a lovely phrase in an Agatha Christie novel once: 'the many splendoured beauty of an English sky', I think it was. She was too lazy to find out where the quote had come from so she just had her character say she wasn't sure and maybe had made it up. We are on the coast here so we have many diverse splendours of sky and are never sure of much except that we will get to laugh heartily when anywhere else in Britain has a hosepipe ban instituted. In Wales it rains so much that we export water, LOL, to some of the big English cities. (The English don't put it quite like that - as then they might have to pay the Welsh for it .)
