Across the UK, across continental North America, and around the world on the internet by webcast

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the return of the unexplained.

Well, we're talking about snow for some parts of the UK in the next week or so, having

had what felt like spring.

For a couple of months now, really to be honest with you, we're now heading towards something

a little bit colder for a while, and I hope that while is not very long.

So to be perfectly frank with you, I was in Hampton Court Palace or near Hampton Court

Palace the other day, which is not too far away from where I live and they have beautiful

ornamental gardens there.

If you're ever in London, please take a trip from Central London 15 miles or 16 miles

out and go to Hampton Court Palace, the former home of Henry VIII and take a look at the beautifully

tended ornamental gardens there.

But one of the concerning things is to see the appearance of spring flowers there, beautiful

roses and other flowers that have appeared months before their time.

So we've talked about the climate before, we'll talk about it again, but it's been very,

very mild up to now.

And those poor flowers that have done so well in the last few weeks are going to get

a terrible shock in the next week by the looks of it when we have a return of a mini beast

from the east.

I think the papers are calling it or something like that.

So we'll have to watch and wait and I just hope the winter is gone before we even know

it.
