Last day. And usually ready by now despite our gypsy inclinations. Though seeing that the highs in Sioux Lookout are falling somewhat short of 10 degrees is a little sad. Though can’t really complain, as it’s the coldest we’ve experienced since last October. And ice out is on the early side. We arrived in London this month late enough that we missed the daffodils and magnolias. Thought that the lilacs we could see from our window were lasting surprisingly well until we realised they weren’t lilacs. More likely wisteria. Our schedule does have the advantage of giving us more than one spring. To the little period jewellery shop in Hampstead Antique Emporium. Always fascinating. And a top up at Aldi on dark chocolate.
