Beautiful morning here, sun, clear blue sky and still, and a bit of rain
last night to make things grow.

Daarset needed the rain badly. Now it can stay away again for a week or
so.

Indeed it did.
It is glorious here this morning in rural Canford Magna, and I have to
say for the past several weeks we have had the best of all the weather
that has been on offer. I am way ahead in my regular chores and am now
ready for Summer planting with a green house bursting with plants.
Nice to meet a fellow Daarset member.

Yes, it's dawned that way here, too but I see clouds piling up from Dartmoor
direction. ;-( A sunny, bright Easter would be lovely!

It's certainly saved on outside watering - you're right it was very dry.

Poor you - have you caught a lurgy? I've just received the new Donna Leon
so would (almost) welcome a duvet day! Fat chance! We're off to buy some
furniture for the garden and I have a mass of plants to list as well as more
names and details to transfer onto the business computer. I fell asleep
last night with Latin names dancing around my brain! Hope you're feeling
better soon, Judith. Lots of water and plenty of sleep for you!

It looks like what you had has come straight to us, but after all it is almost
Easter. We decided to stay at home rather than have the pleasure of Easter
weather on holiday. It snowed last Easter Monday.

Last Easter was *awful* but then it was also extremely early. I do wish
that the Powers That Be would decide on a fixed date. If it keeps shoogling
around all over the place and is said to be THE major Christian festival, I
would have thought it more respectful and sensible to have a fixed date for
it!

But Sacha, it /is/ fixed! It's always the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the spring equinox. What could be simpler? And if Pope
Gregory hadn't buggered about with the calendar we'd all celebrate it on
the same day!

Same here, though we have some low but fluffy clouds. They have promised
more rain tomorrow afternoon.

It does have a fixed date - the first Sunday after the full moon following
the new moon in March - or something like that :-}

Sun here (Yorks), but *very* windy. Resident oligochaetologist has gone
out to buy a large bit of wood - not sure how sensible it is to put
large sheets of wood on the roof rack on a day like today. He should
have gone yesterday.
