Mad World


We live in an upside down world. "Shockingly warm," was how a Canadian friend described Christmas time in Toronto; a student told me thousands of people are freezing to death in Bangladesh. This week huge storms have battered most of northern Europe. Here, though winter has barely even begun, I noticed green shoots poking through the soil all the way along the garden, the unmistakeable first signs of spring.
