What's your weather like 2026
It stayed fairly sunny all day but it was quite blustery for my walk. The new green and growth look fabulous in the sunlight this time of year.

We're in Ile de France, so quite far North. The soil in our garden has many earthworms in it - I'm hoping that's a good sign!
