Good morning, Prue. It's officially March 1st and the first day of Spring here in overcast Windsor, Ontario at 9:35 am. Our restrictions are now lessening (we don't require proof of vaccination to go to restaurants) and will continue to do so through this month and into April.

Such a lovely newsletter to read and savour, you have such a way with words. I can picture you lying on your jetty, watching the fish. I think you are part mermaid :) I think that once your grandson is a bit older, you will have him swimming with you as well.

Your hearts are such masterpieces of kindness and caring, I'm sure that they are very much appreciated.

That zucchini-filo pie looks so appetizing - I don't suppose that you might share the recipe as my husband and I are always looking for new zucchini recipes. And maybe the pear-raspberry cake and ratatouille? I forage at the local farmers' market - so much wonderful variety and fresh.

We enjoy some of the shows that you've been watching - we are huge fans of Brit TV. I love Larkrise to Candleford and watch it again whenever it's on. I must hunt down Young Wallander as I love Kenneth Branagh's portrayal. Death in Paradise is another favourite and we also like Endeavour and Insp. Morse. I'll take up your suggestion of Munich - The Edge of War on Netflix as well. My Dad and I used to watch The Dam Busters and Reach for the Sky when I was growing up and every once in a while I pull them out and watch them, knowing that Dad is probably somewhere watching along as well. In spite of the current affairs in Ukraine, I will not give up hope on the world. From the bit I have seen, these people are not planning on giving up easily in spite of what Russia is doing. I also think that there are many Russians who are not happy with him either. I guess we'll have to see.

Thank you for everything you share with us - glimpses of your life, your gardens, your sheep, swimming and trips about as well as your lovely grandson. I get much peace and enjoyment from them , seeing other parts of the world that are different but as beautiful as where I live. Cheers and here's hoping you get your rain for autumn.

Hallo, Judy. And thank you for commenting. 'Glimpses of life' is such a perfect description for what I'm trying to do, so i dare say I shall pilfer that at some point. Cheers.
