I now have some real catching up to do. Mind you on the subject of Spring yesterday (30 May) I was working all day and evening in the garden in shorts - first time since leaving New Zealand - but today it's cold and wet and the mist was obscuring the other side of the valley this morning. It's an 'inside' day and I even have some heating on! It was good to see the Peacock. They are such beautiful creatures. It has to be 12℃ before they fly.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-12656844813674384852013-05-06T19:13:04.529+02:002013-05-06T19:13:04.529+02:00Maybe I can get my Mum to share her rhubarb cake r...Maybe I can get my Mum to share her rhubarb cake recipe with us :-) Although I am quite sure she makes more than one variety.

It came through every tiny crack in the wooden shudders or underneath the doors, and the place always needed a very thorough clean and good scrub before we could settle.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-68362704918279672272013-04-30T21:09:30.407+02:002013-04-30T21:09:30.407+02:00Your kitty is so cute!

We had a very short spring here...maybe one week, and we're straight into tropical weather, it's around 30 degrees (from 20 just a couple of days ago) On top of that it's terribly windy. It's always windy in Trapani but when it's scirocco it's really stuffy, and we've had the scirocco for about a week already, we're fed up! It seems though that from tomorrow it's going to rain so at least that will wash away this Saharian wind and it's dust. You can't imagine the dust...it seems hazy but it's really sand.Saucy Sicilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044337117600868975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-49891895676860702642013-04-29T19:34:26.434+02:002013-04-29T19:34:26.434+02:00It is, Julie!
