THE WHOLE PINEWOOD IS IN BLOOM ! JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE THE LIGHT JASMINE-LEMONY PERFUME... IT IS WHAT I GET OPENING MY WINDOWS...
AS EVERY YEAR I EXPLAIN, FLOWERS AND BLOSSOMS ARE NORMAL HERE IN WINTER. OUR "DEAD" SEASON IS SUMMER, TOO HOT FOR FLOWERS EXCEPT THISTLES IN JUNE, AND THEN ALL IS DRY.
SO IT IS NOT SPRING IN ADVANCE BUT WINTER WITH ITS FLOWERS AND BLOSSOMS IN DUE TIME !

Since my youth I have been an Alfa Romeo lover and owned a few of them, till 11 years ago when I retired, I decided to change for Toyota's 4WD because of where I live, the Alfas wouldn't survive local earth tracks...
This was my first Alfa keyring
