Last Friday I caught this picture of a Mimosa in flower next to an Olive tree Click on the photo for an enlargement and see the previous image here.
As Minister for Olive Oil in the Sheelzebub regime I think it is necessary to point out that hypothetical Ministerial summits held "chez moi" right now will be held in an atmospehere of ice and snow. OK so its sunny (today) but it certainly isn't warm - unless you come from Minnesota or Helsinki. Maybe in a month or so we can have warmth and sunshine...
