a cold, grey spring in the mother country

Part 2 of Bill Palmer's shiatsu course was my excuse for a week in the UK.

At B on Avon all was well. We had our usual food-management debate (Dad had to use a chisel and hammer to blast a wizened lime in two and even then Mum's protests were such that I returned it to the fruit bowl!)

Stourhead was looking wintry dour, but put on a spectacular show of daffs:


Dad powered on ahead of me, as he always has:


... while Mum contemplated the trees...


Back at Sandy Leaze Mum and I had good times playing the Beethoven violin sonata that we had been working on, independently, and Dad and I had fun with his recorder sonatas. I got to see Buff and Olly, too. So a great visit. Thank you, dear family.
