Easter

A very quiet but enjoyable Easter. Life is still centred around being isolated as much as we can. 

Daffodils still presenting a lovely display. 

Our daily walks seem to be a routine that doesn’t have much variation,  but our interests is very much exploring different new parts of the neighbourhood.  

A certain pattern that is typically English - but very expensive!

The changing seasons is so much more pronounced here in Britain than we experience in Hobart. It possibly because there are so many more deciduous trees and plants in the environment. At the moment the change is very rapid, helped along by a number of days in the 20s. 

Some brilliant small gardens have been particularly noticeable. We have been watching the blooming of a peony rose bush. Yesterday it was just large buds but after a particularly warm day this is what we saw today:

Beautiful peony.

This Easter cartoon circulating around the net was particularly clever given the time and circumstances the world finds itself. 

The past week has seen a return, after many years of dabbling, to editing some of the family history stories that have remained in a very poor condition. In the process it was interesting to locate an old photo with my grandfather gracing the image. Second right, second row. 

What a gem! Wynyard 1905 premiers.

The weather is what we are used to, 25 yesterday and about 10 today - jumpers on, jumpers off weather!
