March flew.
But during April I experienced some sort of time-travel. Just what did happen to the days? Our holiday here, in a wind pump on the Norfolk Broads seems a light year away.
Did I just imagine that we stayed in this magical place, where owls and herons were a common sight? And the watery world we lived in was a dream?
Easter seems to have vanished into thin air too. Eggs long scoffed,
our Easter breakfast outside in the garden a distant memory.
Wedding celebrations, BigBean's 40th, lazy long weekends and school holidays are all over.
I'm quite sad about getting back to normal.
But we've only got four weeks til half term.
Well. The spring flowers are all beginning to look happy out in the garden despite it being blooming cold today. (Where is the sun hiding?)
This dark little beauty has survived both the chilly spell and the grabby picky fingers of the smaller bean, quite an achievement in our garden!
The Easter branch has been suitably decorated by the beans and admired repeatedly by us and a few visitors... 
and I did a little bit of baking for the teachers. They definitely deserve a bit of a sugar rush after all their hard work this term. I had great fun making these chick'n'egg cupcakes. Don't you think they look quite charming? I'm sure they look much better than they taste though.
So, we're ready for Easter here, just waiting for that Bunny. And some warm sun. Hope you have a good one.
