Cherry Blossom

It’s been a mainly sunny day but one with a chilly northerly wind.

This morning we met with one of Andy’s sisters and had a good long chat. She works on international aid and has been greatly affected by recent political decisions in the United States.

After lunch we walked along the Thames to Isleworth and then back along to Richmond. There are some signs of spring - daffodils, vibrant yellow buds on the weeping willow, and cherry blossoms. Some of the workshops which run along next to the water were open and we could see a potter at work in one and wooden boats being repaired in others.

It’s been good to catch-up with folk and have a change of scene.
