Just to let you know the almond blossom is out in the Catalan countryside!

Such a sign of hope and renewal.

I can feel it in my life too with new plans taking form.  Every day, thoughts of the Camino, which we will start walking at the end of March, make me feel both excited and a bit scared. We are decorating the upstairs flat to have a space full of light and peace. Even the Resident Adolescent is changing into an easier person to live with, his offer to help me make pancakes last week was so totally out of the norm that I had to pinch myself to know I wasn’t dreaming.

We did it together and it was easy and nice.
