Ahead of the game

Frogs have already laid their eggs in the ponds in Zinal

Spring has definitely arrived early this year. The swallows and martins flew in at least 3 weeks ago and up in Zinal the frogs have filled the little pond with spawn, the willows are in full flower and the Plats de la Lee has virtually no snow on it

It's been about 4 weeks since we were last able to  cross country ski here
