7.30am. Morning  mist clearing after frost.

Promise of a spring like day as the sun climbs the sky! 

We arrived home from a trip to see friends in Dubai, on Tuesday afternoon, after a whistle stop 5 nights. The temperatures were considered "low" by our hosts! But it was just right for us! A bit like Baby Bear's porridge in "Goldilocks". Not too hot and not too cold!

Averaging around 27C - 28C was comfortable.

The evenings, although cooler, meant we could eat dinner outside on the patio. A welcome change from the  cold of February.

    A relative, who had been out there to visit over Christmas, described Dubai as rather like Las Vegas on steroids! 

Not a bad description! Having been dubious about what to expect, it not being our usual type of destination, I found it really interesting. 

So, now we are back home, and the birds are singing their spring songs, and busy nest building, I must confess, 

East, West, home's best! 

Fountain display. Mall of the Emirates 29C

Time to go out there and enjoy the novelty of a sunny day!
