Strange extremes of weather here in the Languedoc.
The mornings are cold, the stove is encouraged to blaze but then by midday it is all change.

The sun which has been valiantly shining all morning hits its apex and really starts to warm us up.
I sat in the terrace this afternoon reading a book and eventually had to creep further and further back into the shade , it was just too hot .
I checked the thermometer, it was just touching 20C, the day was very warm, and stayed warm until the sun started to sink at about 5 pm.
Then it very suddenly felt like someone had turned off the central heating and within an hour the dial dropped from 20 down to 10 which , after the balminess of the day, felt very cold indeed.

So during the evenings we are glad of our wood burner.

But the wonderful sunny heat of the afternoon stays with you, promising warmer nights also, soon.
