Well, it’s that time of year again. Our normally small quiet village has been invaded by horders of post-Easter visitors. Restaurants and bars that have been closed since November, are open again, and the streets are full of people with milky pale skin wearing t-shirts and shorts, whilst we are still wrapped up in jeans and sweaters. How quickly we have become used to warm weather, so that now we still shiver when the temperature is in the 70s.

Time for us to plan a holiday I think, to somewhere peaceful and even warmer than it is here. We are ploughing through economy hotels promotions to see if we can find something that will suit our budget but we cannot agree on where we want to go. I want to go to Australia, the rest of the family prefer New Zealand. Both are appealing, but it is not possible with the limited time we have to visit both. Drooling over holiday brochures, until I speak to an Australian friend of mine who gently reminds me that now is not the time to visit Down Under, since the winter is just starting.

Oh well, it was just a thought. With all the business with lawyers and accountants organizing the incorporation of our agency, now is maybe not the time to do a flit. We will have to wait. At least we are waiting in relative comfort, and tomorrow will be warmer again, maybe time to leave the vest in the cupboard, who knows.
