Easter seems so far away now. Perhaps because it came early this year. Anyway, here are some snippets from our Easter lunch including my wife’s lasagne.

Our Easter egg which would put any Cadbury ‘creme’ to shame. The ‘sorpresa’ inside it was a pack of cards suitable for playing poker. Let’s hope they are lucky ones.

Since the start of April there has been a considerable climatic change with the first wave of ‘gran caldo’ to hit Italy. A few daffodil stragglers are left in the garden and several new flowers have appeared. Amazingly the geraniums have started to blossom. The wisteria is like a gigantic floral waterfall!

.It’s all very colourful … and worrying at the same time. We do not recollect such early bloomers as this year. When should we migrate to colder climes again I wonder?

We have now…to an area of the word over ten degrees colder! Anyway, here we are in time for a visit to some interesting sights in the Great Wenn…and more, including a Greggs sausage roll.
