Easter this year is not greatly different from last year's lockdown and many of us can't see loved one and may not have seen them for over a year.
But all we can do is look for the positives, and today I have two reasons to celebrate!
We have new neighbours next door - they are still working on the house and renting further along the road, but we are getting to know them through chats over the garden fence and they seem a lovely couple.
They have a little Sprocker dog (cross Springer and Cocker Spaniels) who is very friendly, and her mum asked if I fancied walking the dogs together. I explained the Eva becomes a naughty child out on a lead, but the neighbour is still willing to walk with us. So this morning we went for a walk just round the block. Eva calmed down quite quickly and the two dogs walked well, mostly not taking a lot of notice of each other. I am so delighted. It's something I've been longing to do with Eva for 5 years, and hopefully we're getting there. We've booked another walk for Tuesday.
The second celebration is the first tomato seed has germinated! This sounds very unexciting, I know, but I've had a run of years with one problem after another growing seeds and it's early days, but hopefully this tiny healthy-looking seedling will be followed by lots of other seedlings in the days to come.
Strange what makes us happy, isn't it!
Easter blessings everyone. xx
