UnSprung

Sitting here with five layers on, including coat and scarf.  It gets into your head this miserable weather, we are  programmed to expect a mood lightening springness with gambolling lambs and abundant daffodils, instead we see  pictures on the tv of lambs dying of the cold and watch daffodils raising their heads through frost.  The picture is from Sharon's Suffolk garden- it is the bed of spring flowers especially grown for Clive's daughter's wedding this Friday.

  I met a friend from India/Dubai, in this country briefly, " how is it here? " I asked him "Best country in the world," he said, "with the worst climate."

But still we have things to look forward too.  This weekend we shall have an Easter Egg hunt, either in the house or in the garden, according to how possible it is to be outside.  Cara and Jake and Reuben will be here- his first Easter;  will he be able to participate in the hunt?   Will he be allowed to taste chocolate?  Both Cara and Hector had their first ever taste of chocolate at Easters.  And for all my compassion for frozen lambs we will be eating one, unfrozen, for Sunday Lunch, accompanied by onion sauce and a Devonshire pudding.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, we have opened the doors to the terrace and there is hope that one day it will be good to be alive and outside and warm and comfortable, not wet or cold.
We have also firmed up a stepping stone of breaks, March in Devon, April in London, June in Switzerland, July at WOMAD and finally tickets are booked to fly to Maine with PSHT  at the beginning of August where we hope to meet HEGD and Ben as well as GRFEJ.
