I live in a Mediterranean climate, and the last month has been very wet, but we have had a few lovely sunny winter's days with today's maximum temperature of 17C. This is a photo of me with Margot at a local cafe. Margot has very nice manners and does a good job of keeping the crows and seagulls at bay - DS had a bowl of hot chips and the birds were sitting in the nearby trees looking for an opportunity to steal a chip.

Margot is rather enamoured by looking into the inside of the cafe and checking out the interesting kitchen smells.

WIW - jeans, sweater, peacoat and hat, in the photo you can just see the jacket and hat.

I LOVE cobalt and have been excited to see a bit more of this colour becoming available. The hat is a fun wildcard purchase.

This was the view from our table and if you look closely at photo 2 you can see 4 black swans swimming in the river, aptly named The Swan River. Photo 3 is a picture of them. On our walk we saw some cygnets with their parents as well. Spring is on its way!
