The hall in Mhairi's looks a lot more civilised now and not the dingy place it once was, so I hope you think it's been worth the effort. Always a great rush at the last minute getting  things ready for Easter, but it's a great starting point for the year and all over the place people will be rushing around putting last minute touches to things. A rush to get the coggley bridge onto the bay straightened up;  in his anxiety to help, Andrew - our intrepid painter - fell in.  Just as well it was after he'd painted the hall! Of course he should have had a safety harness and a life jacket - the bridge itself had been sealed off by the Community Council because it was SO DANGEROUS; but worry not, it is all repaired and ready for  visitors to get down there and build sand castles. Unfortunately the forecast looks dreadful - the down side of early Easters.

Lots of lambs in Wum's fields, and we're pleased to see the squirrels have re-appeared in the woods behind us so along with the hatching tadpoles lots of nature doing it's Spring thing.  For some reason thee is a vast amount of frogspawn this year so maybe we're going to be invaded by a plague of frogs.  Who knows.

Time to go and put the flowers in
