One Swallow does not a Summer make.

But as a Scottish friend of mine says, ' a wee swally o' sump'n good helps keep the cold oot, eh?'

I have a nesting pair in my garage. Looking forward to a few months of cars covered in bird sh1t. ๐Ÿ˜• At least this years nest is at the side, last year they were right in the centre above a parking space.

It'll be fast frozen if it isn't careful.

I had a lovely walk today, down the valley into 3 Cliffs bay. The kids loved it, sun out, but still cold even with 3 layers on. Both daughters complained of frozen hands after a while. On the way home we could see snow up on the mountains.

SNOW! In South Wales! In April!

It feels like summer is a long way off yet.

Snow isn't that unusual in April

I remember once waking up to a covering of snow in June - at sea level[ish] too
