After a very brief visit to Southern France where temperatures hover around the late teens spoilt with clear blue skies, I am staring out of my window in London to a snow storm, Reminds me how Europe can be so different, in climes as well as people, customs and dress, and most of all, how Europeans relax and how valued is sunshine.
