It's been a hectic few days!
On Saturday, a smattering of "Our Gang" gathered for the first time in ages at The Perseverance pub off Great Ormond Street for another "Film Club" evening, then on Easter Sunday Madam Arcati and I took Baby Steve and Houseboy Alex to Kew Gardens (a first for Steve, and Alex hadn't been since he was a little kid) to see it in its Spring magnificence!
No sooner did we get back home, but I was off with them back to Braintree - and spent a happy (if miserably wet and windy) couple of days touring the numerous garden centres and nurseries up and down the county. I came back last night on National Express (in total it took four hours from being dropped off at the airport to getting home!), laden with a haul of twenty-seven new plants - 22 of them fuchsias! Phew.

Miss Ware says "it's time to shake it 'til the pearls fall", and who are we to argue?
Could this one sound more Eighties if it tried?
Dame Sophie of the Ellis-Bextors' recent single from her new album Hana is a joy:
Speaking of joy, this is one I've brought back with me from Braintree, where we certainly did whoop with joy when we discovered it!
As ever, dear reader, let me know your thoughts...
