April, but no showers!

The weather is being incredibly kind to us this spring. We, that is my DH, DS, DD and their respective offspring, have spent most of the day in our orchard, with the children enjoying the space our bigger garden gives them. And yesterday was a similar day, and the day before, and the ...you catch my drift! It's only two weeks since we came back from our two week break in Cornwall, but already I miss the sound of the sea. We were so lucky that the sun shone (though there was a stiff breeze quite a bit of the time). We were down in Cornwall to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the opening of the Eden Project. Even though the official source I contacted at Eden stated that there was no one event planned for the 17th March, I had decided some time ago that we should be down there on the exact date anyway. We were there bright and early on the 17th, which was a bright but chilly morning, and who should be in the Tropical Biome but Tim Smit (Sir) being interviewed by a couple of young journalists from Sky News. Naturally, I stopped and waited for the interview to finish so that I could get Tim's autograph (again!) and in the conversation mentioned that we had come down from Nottingham for the opening day. Tim, with a nod to the journalists and towards us, indicated that we would be prime choice to be interviewed! So we gave an interview, but no one could find it on the Sky News or the internet, so probably the news editor decided that he had better things to do with his air-time!
