Hay fever

[fpb]

You all heard about the savage late winter that came in January and froze all Europe up, killing many old folks including my grandmother and the Pope. However, the previous winter months had been extraordinarily mild, and the vegetation had taken the signal to mean that spring was beginning early. The two or three weeks of polar weather did not do enough to disrupt it, and now that the weather is back to normal, the air is already full of pollen, two months ahead of schedule. Result: misery for all those who, like me, have oversensitive eyes and nostrils. We can only hope in a few months of constant rain (however, this being England, it is hardly impossible).

I'm lucky, I don't get hay fever. I do have a question though and feel free to dismiss it if you'd like. What did you think of the pope?

The late Pope

I have replied to your question, but for some reason in the wrong place. Look below.
