Dear
Bloggy Friends, you are highly favoured! Necky Becky, our oft-times
grumpy daughter is in a good mood, and has decided, (nay - demanded!),
that I should share with you one of our favourite spring walks.I'll let her speak:
"This is our best view of Knollshire up here. You can even see our Necky Knoll House with the garden round it. There's my Dad's vegetable garden too. (He doesn't do much work in it though). Me 'n' Hals are on our favourite knoll. Old Gnarly the gardener says there's supposed to be a secret portal to another world called planet Earth, somewhere round here!"
Necky Becky never minds the rain. We had a few late April showers
today, but she still insisted we go on our walk with Hals, posting a
letter for Maureen en route.

I
love the overcast skies of showery spring days. Each droplet of rain
seems luminous and full of promise. The grass gleams in the vernal
light.
We all
love to wander through The Forest. How beautiful it is there, with the
birches clad in spring green. The young leaves shimmer as pinky
giraffe-patterned clouds move mysteriously across the sky.*
Everything pulsates with a sense of waiting. The feeling of growing, ('growyness' as Necky B. calls it), pervades the atmosphere.
*Not to be missed out, big sister Nexi asked me to include this little 'decoupage' she has created from Necky Becky's picture.

(Girth's
just hollered across the room that we've not included a view of he and
Nektareeni's Gleeful & Greedy Restaurant! There's a special story to
tell you about that next time ...)
Happy Spring!
