April

Well, April was a slow month. The most dreadful, long-lasting cold in the world kept me at home for most of it, and it's taking a while to fully recover. Fortunately I was well enough to celebrate my birthday - on three occasions, with cake each time; the first made by my husband and grandson on my actual birthday, the second for a family tea, and th third at a neighbour's -.and Easter with hidden eggs around the garden, and my daughter and partner visited with home-made curries to get my taste buds working again. 











Otherwise I've spent the weeks doing jigsaws and eating my birthday chocolates. The small toblerone above is 'normal' size; the huge one behind 4.5 kg! 












Recovery seemed to be a matter of two steps forward and one back with my cold symptoms returning several times but by the end of the month things were getting back to 'normal'. 
First thing was a 'recovery' walk at Kedleston for fresh air and a different view, then a longer walk round Elvaston had me almost back to normal.

Planning ahead for summer has largely been put on hold but May has brought glorious weather and the seaside is calling
