It’s been a relatively good week. We’ve had some lovely, clear bright and sunny days but it has been a bit on the “fresh” side to say the least. It’s supposed to be getting warmer this week so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

And, we’re back! We had a splendid four days in the Lake District where the weather was excellent, the scenery was spectacular and the company was passable.

I guess this is the definition of “Sod’s Law.” We’ve had friends to visit this weekend and last night we were out at the RSC theatre in Stratford to see the production of Hamnet.

What an excellent Easter weekend. Indeed, the whole week’s been pretty decent – some excellent bright sunny days at the beginning of the week, a bit of rain in the middle and an astonishingly gorgeous weekend. What’s not to like? The blossom is beginning to show in the orchard so we very much hope the clear skies don’t lead to any hard frosts – if we do get a hard frost the greengage will be decimated. It’s the first blossom out and the tree is covered!

It’s been a pretty decent week – we’ve had a fair bit of rain so the fields are sodden and muddy but it’s also been very mild, on the whole. I took Daisy across the fields on Friday morning and had to shed my jacket – it was sweltering!

It’s been a grand week – apart from the weather and the plague which infected me early in the week. Other than that, . . .

A good week – fairly quiet at the beginning accelerating to a frenetic climax towards the end of the week. I suppose it’s better than being full-on all the time or sitting twiddling our thumbs with nothing to do. Hmm, now that I think about it, twiddling my thumbs sounds okay to me.
