First of the year

After a beautifully sunny first day here in the South of France, yesterday and today have been cloudy. Yesterday was also cold. But today, even though it rained a bit, has been warmer. Consequently it has taken at least 36 hours too get the hot tub up to temperature. And 48 before we felt safe to go in. So this is my first dip of the year. The first of many I hope!
