There isn’t an easy answer to that! Japan is wonderful in the spring. I’ve taken so many photos of the amazing cherry trees and the historic buildings there.

Well, my great-grandson David’s just had a baby girl who I haven’t met yet! So if David can give me a lift, I’ll travel up to Scotland and meet her. And maybe I’ll plan another trip to Bali … We’ll see! // If you’re interested in seeing Agatha’s exhibition, it’s at the ArtNature Gallery in London. Opening night is Friday.
