Easter Monday

Home safely, but we're starting to find the long drive a bit much. It's tempting to think that it would be better to spend less on motorway tolls and fuel and stay a couple of nights en route. The 4x4 is pretty refined on the journey, but it doesn't do the concentrating for you, and I think that's what left me so tired last night. Though with a number of visits in the night from a vengeful Montezuma (yesterday's bought sandwich gave me awful indigestion), the Ministry of the Interior may also have had some influence.

Fine day today: we're both in shorts (which we weren't in France) and have been out to see what the garden has been doing in our absence. Last year's seedling aubrieta, alyssum saxatile and aquilegias are flowering well, but the magnolia, cherry and spiraea blossom are going over, and the tulips have similarly passed their best. The grass hasn't taken a holiday either, so I've a job to do this afternoon, Montezuma permitting.
