I’m not feeling too bad. The Cazalets, still stuck in pre-Pearl-Harbor 1940,  certainly suit my mood of sadness and anxiety.

The weather is, as promised, improving somewhat and the garden is unbelievably beautiful, with all those different greens as the trees come into leaf, and the rhododendron bank in full splendour.

I hope to have lots of photographs and adventures for you when I reappear or the 8th or 9th of June.
