Spring has not yet quite dared to make an entry on the scene here in northern France. On Thursday we may even get some snow. This is the coldest spring we have ever experienced in Paris. Next we will go to Chablis and to Champagne. It will be interesting to see how worried the wine producers are about frost. How much damage it can do depends on how far the budding has come and perhaps it hasn’t come very far at all in this cold weather.
But spring will certainly arrive, sooner or later. And if spring has been cold is it not so that summer will be warm?
