Before it got cold

The winter of 2011/2012 was truning into the winter-that-never-was here n Holland, with justa couple of frosts back in November. As can be seen here, the summer plants are still flowering and above, we see that a heron has already been hatching its eggs.

Howver, the weather forecasters tell us that winter is finally on its way, with cold (and soon very cold) air arriving from the east later today, so a last chance to enjoy the feeling of spring beforev we have ot delve into our drawers and find out where we last left our woollen gloves!
