Piglet Retrospective VIII

Jumping Jehoshaphat it's March already! Piglet is jumping for joy (and not being blown off the sign by a gust of wind after I put him so carefully in place and stepped back to take a picture). Looking forward to Spring, and feeling some energy & hope!

Living under Lockdown Phase 2 Day 2: The Sounds of Spring

It's May in Modena, and the temperature is rising. People are starting to leave their windows open, and forget that everything that happens at home is now audible to all. We will get used to it again, but it will take a while. For now, well ...

Cygnets in Spring

Signs that Spring is somewhere around as seen yesterday on the river by the marquee near Romsey where the ravaj conducted her first Wedding Blessing.

FYI Romsey turned out to have some interesting historical connections. The most interesting to me, and to the taxi driver who took me to the station, is Florence Nightingale, who was buried in a nearby church. My driver was quite passionate about the fact that Nightingale is not given the kudos she deserves in her own country. He told me that at the station he often picks up nurses from all over the world who have travelled there only to visit the church and pay homage to their mentor.
