The passengers on the plane groaned as one:

"The weather in Paris is overcast, the temperature at present is five degrees"

It had been 25 degrees in Hanoi as we left, it was 25 degrees in Singapore (at midnight) as we took off.

The weather in Brittany while we had been away had been cool and rainy, the grass wasn't knee high as we had feared it would be, the Spring hadn't sprung and, although the potatoes and broad beans had just pushed through, everything else looked more winter than Spring.
