That's exactly what it has been like the last month or so. We have had some glimpses of sunshine fooling us into thinking Spring was on it's way then the cold returns with a vengeance.
The garden has really suffered - the bamboo, which had come through the winter green was hit last weekend and turned brown overnight. The same cold night finished off my early seedlings under fleece in the greenhouse.
The daffodils too have been disappointing having been battered in the wind and rain so much that almost all the stems are broken and they are lying in forlorn patches.
Last year we lost all our fruit to a late frost so I am glad that the fruit trees have no blossom yet - for now the flowering cherries are enough to cheer the spirits especially against a blue sky ( even if the wind is biting cold!)
One sight that did not disappoint though was the wild daffodil display in the woods at Verfeil, just lovely
