| 0:00.0 | I'm John Batchel with my colleague Simon Constable in the south of France, where there's spring in the air. |
| 0:09.0 | The tulips are awakening. |
| 0:10.9 | I won't see my tulips for another six weeks, thanks to Groundhog Day. |
| 0:14.4 | However, Simon's already got it. |
| 0:15.9 | No snow on the ground. |
| 0:17.2 | I have lots of snow on the ground. |
