Today has been glorious, so incredibly sunny and hot! It actually felt more like May than February, it was gorgeous. The weather keeps tricking me though, there’s a fabulous day like today and then it will go back to being grey and cold again. It makes knowing what to wear a real challenge.
It seems to have been so long since the sun has been out, in fact it’s as if you forget what it’s like. That sounds insane, there are so many days when the weather is great; but it doesn’t take too many back to back days of winter to completely forget how good it feels in the sun. On days like today you want to be outside, the world is tempting to venture into. I’m really looking forward to being able to sit out in the garden again. Fingers crossed this summer will be a good one!
I enjoyed the sun and the drive in to Norwich to get my next Shaake. There’s this incredible hill in Norwich called Grapes Hill, which is really steep for Norwich, because Norfolk is notoriously flat. Every year at this time the grass verges are covered in first crocuses and then daffodils. I love going up it and being able to watch the flowers come out. At the beginning of the week just the yellow ones were out; but today the deep purple ones were making an appearance. It’s incredible just how much they lift your spirits seeing these wonders of nature springing up in the middle of a city.
My Shaake was Nuts About Bananas; but with strawberry instead of banana – can you guess I don’t like bananas. It was really good, as they all seem to be. I’ve been trying to have a few quiet days with lots of resting in the hope that I get a bit more energy. The good weather is bound to help.
