Spring Idyll

Exhausting week running on nervous energy lead to a bit of a collapse yesterday (hence no blip), but back on form for Mothering Sunday, which started with M cooking breakfast (Scotch Pancakes), then the walk we didn't manage yesterday in the Howardian Hills, after which M and I cooked a roast together, which was fun.

The landscape at Castle Howard is so carefully constructed I can almost believe that Capability Brown somehow arranged to have swans nesting here, even hundreds of years later.
