An Easter bouquet, from our house…
to yours!
Lisa arrived, in a burst of colour and joy, with flowers and the card she’d made. My Good Friday was the happiest I have shared in a long time. We walked, in warm Spring sunshine. We talked. We ate, and laughed, and smiled a lot.
This morning my house is peaceful, while I wait for everyone to stir. Wishing you all much love this Easter! I hope that you are equally blessed.

Thanks, Rosemay (I forgot to say thank you on my last reply 😦 ). It was such a sunny start to the morning and I was plotting where to go but it’s cloudy again. I expect I should do some (more 😦 ) housework. 🙂

No problem at all Jo – thanks too! Hope the sun comes back out again soon – I never seem to finish housework however much I try (or not try!). How is the weather shaping up over there – it’s a bit difficult to gauge from weather reports? Mlle said it was quite mild the other day and she was sitting outdoors on their apartment roof terrace it was 14 degrees max apparently! Now it was 13 overnight last night here and I was in my Ugg boots this morning for a while so I think she has acclimatised to the Uk! I will feel colder even if it is mild – am in planning mode for outfits but as usual will bring layers and lots of scarves for variety! Hope you get your walk in today! 🙂

Still 3 seasons in one day! 🙂 We did manage a walk, which was a bit of a surprise package, and just beat the rain back in time for lunch. Sunny again now but you’ll need your woollies. Ironing soon, as a concession to housework 🙂 Smiling again!

Yes will definitely pack warmer stuff thanks! Thought Mlle was being a little optimistic! Great that you got your walk in! Have had a horrible day – our bank called at lunchtime to say fraud department had flagged a suspicious transaction on our credit card not a lot of money thank goodness ($10 on an unknown hotel) but once we stopped the card they tried multiple purchases in the US and New Zealand so fortunately the bank picked it up in time. No financial damage (bank will credit us back the $10) just a right pain in the proverbial… just before we leave for our trip. Have spent the day on the phone and doing endless emails to sort things out!! Hoping to go for a calming walk myself soon! Hope your day is much brighter! 🙂

Oh heck! That sort of thing is so unsettling, and a lot of work for nothing. 😦 Get yourself off and forget it for a bit, and enjoy the warmth while you can.

Thanks Jo – sorry hope I wasn’t venting too much!! Just rather unsettling as you say and also especially before we leave for our trip. Very unpleasant as you start wondering how on earth they got our card info plus attempt to use it without a pin number or the security number on back of card. Lot of unnecessary work and hassle! I shall indeed go out and enjoy the late afternoon sun and make the most of it! Have a lovely day 🙂

Not at all. I’d be very uptight. You too! 🙂

I felt distinctly forlorn when she left but now tiredness has taken over. It’s been a full on week. 🙂
