Even with weather colder than at the winter olympics it feels as if spring isn't too far away. This morning we woke to snow but even so the blossom on my winter flowering cherry is starting to unfurl around the ice crystals. 
What's happening in my world
These are a few of my favourite things!
- An open fire - with the smell of wood smoke
- Italy - the food, the wine, the landscape
- Swimming in the sea - ideally somewhere warm
- Walking on the beach - collecting shells
