spring? when!

spring lambs... colouritgreen.wordpress.com - a long way from today's rainy damp walk thru urban sprawl, and the damp, waterlogged, urban garden...



still, we did come face to face with wildlife last weekend on an escape to Woburn with the girls while Ix had a great time at respite.



lovely to stay in a nice hotel, have nice meal with glass of wine and enjoy the girls' company.

but today a long-overdue visit to friends during which Ix chatted non-stop on his device, impressing all...friends who first met Ix age just two... we've come a long way along the rollercoaster ride and not just Ix' issues...

now waiting for girls to come back from their dad's - but they are there with his friend and her two daughters, who they haven't seen to play with since about October last year (when he became too depressed to make any arrangements with his friends...) ...so forgiven for late night on a Sunday.

this time...

snow gone

shame, did look nice.

rain yesterday but sunny today. feeling warm...

Ix out for a walk with his student befrienders, took girls to Marine Ices for yummy dollops of ice cream, chocolate sauce, chocolate bits, etc.

In the afternoon the girls went out with their dad, so set off on marathon walk with Ix as he has been obsessing about seeing some friends in Kentish Town - as it happened, they weren't in... but it satisfied his curiosity to knock on their door and he accepted "not at home". seems happier to have at least been to their house even if they not in...the weird way his mind works....

the good thing about London is there is always a quick way back home after an hour's walk - train took five minutes to West Hampstead!
