It’s the last day of August, and I’m sitting on our terrace in warm Springtime sun writing these Locked Down
notes. Winter is apparently over already. It has been a disappointingly mild winter for me: I prefer my seasons
extreme – what Central Otago does best – but this past one has seen far too little snow, too few ripper frosts and
nowhere near enough icicles forming along the edge of Cambrian valley stream or frozen dams and puddles.
The snowdrops have been out for weeks up at Bob’s reserve, and the first daffodils are already fluttering and
dancing, as someone else once remarked.
