Return from Paradise

Some of us for longer than others but for most of two weeks in February, our whole family (including the staff of Downtown Abbey and the Lady Baby herself) spent time on Kauai. My mind is still there!

Signs of spring appear here – in the garden hellebore stand tall, looking beautiful, brave, and full of blossom, and scores of budded daffodils try to triumph over popweed – but our first morning back we woke to snow and rain slanting on a stiff wind.

So, while we wait for spring, “Her spirits rose…” will revisit Kauai!
