Andrew Our Girls here don’t know hat time of year it is - they are out and about most days.

We could do with some cold and snow, but we will suffer a late Spring if we do because most things have already gone into Spring mode and will suffer because of it. Many Blossoms will be lost also we have the horrid little flies that breed in pot plants coming to life they think it is Spring also.

It will take a couple of seasons before we are back to “normal” at this rate.

America I believe are 30% down on Citrus crop size in California, but that is to do with pollination not weather. The citrus industry is heading for a whammy this year and the Almonds might follow.

If this freakish weather keeps up, the seasons will go to pot for 3 or 4 years, Australia has El Niño presently and Last winter in America was a bad one, we are due a good snow fall but I don’t think it will be this winter.

The world has gone topsy turvy
