Sometimes, I honestly don't know what to write on my blog. At this time of year when spring is still in two minds as to whether it's going to be shy and vascillate or to go into full-on bloom, I feel in the same state of suspended animation myself. First we had warm days and the blossom bloomed, but then it changed its mind and we had bitter cold with snow, followed by overnight thunder storms and gales. Even yesterday we were having icy winds and hail. It cannot make its mind up and, as a result, neither can I.
Yes, it's true we've been doing some work on the boats when the weather has permitted, and yes, I've planted some pretty petunias in the pots and boxes in front of CC Mk1, but the will to get on with the jobs I actually want to do is still wavering.
I really should do a few things this week, though, because from next week on I have a very busy couple of months of work, added to which we want to spend a bit of time in France (petrol prices permitting). Maybe by writing my intentions down it will spur me on to tidy up the garden and plant some annuals there too. Maybe I'll also sand down the doors and frames in the cottage so I can repaint them – a job I've been procrastinating about for some time. Perhaps I'll also finish the book I'm writing although I still have roughly a third of it to go. Maybe I'll do all of these, or none. And then, I have that exam to take...
I'll see what tomorrow brings and keep my fingers crossed that the weather will be kind enough to give me some time outside. For now, though, I'll leave you with a few photos. These five could make me believe March has been beautiful. In truth, it's been like that curate's egg: just good in parts, but those parts have at least given me views like this, so I'm not complaining!

Enjoy the rest of your week allemaal and I'll be back with something of substance soon!
