It's not Christmas Day yet, but there are already Lenten lilies (daffodils) by the church. There's a lovely smell in the air from some winter flowers. The wind is blowing from the west, according to the weather-cock (but the weather vane isn't a cock). Westerlies are the prevailing winds in Cornwall. They are not too cold, but they bring rain. Today we watched the clouds as they moved from right to left across the sky. The trees in the hedge lean in the same direction. Some of the clouds carry rain. We were caught in a slight shower. After that we could see rain coming down on distant hills - at the same time as some of the sky was still blue.
