Violets

It's spring, but the only daffodils I've seen are in my garden. However, I've got wild violets (purple ones), and until they cut the grass there were white ones all over a park near us!

They were so tiny it was hard to take a photo of them.

Spring

I looked out of my bedroom window this morning and saw a robin. Then I saw another one! We haven't seen any for ages!
The fruit trees are all in flower. My daffodils are beginning to open.

Rome

We had a great trip to Rome last week. The weather was cold and windy, the hotel was basic, but....
there are some really spectacular buildings and ruins, like the Coliseum,

Trajan's column,


Piazza Navona,


I liked the market in Campo di Fiori, with stalls selling vegetables I'd never seen before. 
My first Roman capuccino.
