The weather has been keeping me occupied and annoyed, and not necessarily in that order, so I have not been driven to remark upon anything in this blog.

Unless you are a skier or have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, or do not drive at all, which I'm presuming would be the bulk of you underage folks, this has not been a gentle winter for many of us.

Yet I have no plans to move to a warmer clime, although the south of France does hold a certain appeal, not all of which pertains to fields of lavender (ah, great appeal in that!). So I will weather the storms that come my way and be grateful I have the four seasons to enjoy.
