The Easter Bunny Visits

Easter came this weekend, the clocks went forward, and Spring arrived!  The first sunshine and blue skies for what feels like - and I think what has been - months felt so precious.  It feels like we might just have made it through the winter.

We've had a lovely Easter weekend.  We did a fabulous walk on the North York Moors, where there were lambs and catkins but still a lot of snow on the tops.

 
We had a lovely Easter meal with Alastair's mam and step-dad, and we've eaten a LOT of chocolate.  I even got out into the garden for an hour this afternoon - just hoeing and digging over the big veg patch.  This time last year we had daffodils and tulips - it's been so cold this year that the crocuses have only just struggled out, along with the little flowers that live underneath Buddleia whose name I don't know.
