We have had some beautiful weather recently, bright, sunny, but still rather cold. March went out like a lamb and here we are in April, Easter,holidays and Spring!

Hubby took a couple of days off before the easter weekend and we have taken the opportunity to get out in fresh air and do some Geocaching. For those who have never met Geocaching it is a sort of global wide treasure hunt fueled by GPS coordinates. At every set of coordinates you will find a cache which can be as small as a thimble or as big as a large lunchbox. in it you will find a log book you sign and in the larger ones there can be “treasures” usually foreign stamps, beads, plastic toys and occasionally a travel bug which is an item that you take out of the cache and move to another one somewhere else so that it can continue it’s travels around the world. You can go on the Website, plug in the code on the travelbug and see where it has been

The best thing about today was getting up onto the south cliffs on the island and walking up and down all the beautiful cliff paths with all spring flowers starting to appear.

and to top it off a babbling stream ( that also hides a secret)

In between geocaching expeditions there has been knitting, but it is a magazine commission so I can’t talk about it.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it and to those who don’t enjoy the holiday!
