In April, or by now in May I'm starting to think, with anticipation, of returning home. The view from the bedroom window, a non-concave bed, even a bath (our present accommodation has only a shower), catching up with friends and central heating.
The chaffinch might be singing in the orchard in England, but the trees I am going to miss are the feijoas. These bear small, dark green and perfumed tropical fruit. Adam and I are addicted to their rather sharp white flesh. As they grow on a tree in the verge outside our neighbour's house, every time we fancy a snack we can nip out, shake the tree, pick up the five or six which fall and scoff them.
Catherine.

The woods are spring green and garden flowers are great. Baths are over rated. We're trying not to have the heating on. But we haven't seen any volcanoes this week! We do have the cherry tree in blosom outside. Missing you at coffee yesterday.

Greetings to all the Clayton family!
ReplyDeleteGood to be able to hear how the trips going and see some wonderful pictures! The house is in good shape; we enjoyed our first bbq of the season recently and there's beautiful blossom all over Fulwood at the moment. Fiona Lockwood was enquiring as to whether Adam will start playgroup in September and if so what day he would attend. If you could email me at trainees@fulwoodchurch.co.uk that would be great just so I can get back to her. Enjoy your last 40 days or so!
