Home (almost) Alone

As everyone knows, Victoria is now living on Jersey and on Thursday George went off for a week on Lundy (I hope he's keeping away from the edges in this wind....).  He's doing conservation work out there - pulling up Rhododendrons and dry stone walling - hope he comes back with lots of photos.  So Jonathan and I are home alone.

Suddenly the house seems very quiet, it's surprising how much noise, mess, laughter and chat one extra person can make.  I know how it will be - just like when he boarded at Sparsholt.  First couple of days you mope around missing him, next two days you adapt, last two days you decide that actually it's great, and then he comes back.

Anyway, I re-visited one of our past workshops to make a present for my niece:

Hope she likes him.

And then Julie M sent me a couple of photos of her finished pieces from the last two workshops she came to:

Very Spring-like!

Countdown to April 1st has started - by next weekend there should be lambs popping out all over the place.....hope the sun shines for them!
