This is just by way of letting you know, in case you were worried, that we haven't totally given up on our blog: but Alice is in a bit of a psychological Underground just now. No, we don't mean the Lewis Carroll one. Or didn't you know that the original title of Dodgson's manuscript was actually Alice's Adventures under Ground?
You can see his own charming illustrations and careful handwriting at this link to Lenny's wonderful Alice site.
Mind you, our Alice does say she feels (just sometimes) as though she's in a perplexing dream like that and wishes she could wake up.Which she will, of course, in her own good time. I reckon that just bothering to write this brief apology is a propitious sign of her eventual emergence.
Talking of emergence, here's a cheery Spring-like photo of yours truly with our successfully bloomimg and sweetly smelling indoor hyacinth, plus some daffs from the supermarket, and a sweet little rose-bud we found on the stair. The window boxes are still suffering from the bitter cold, however.
Meanwhile we're secretly hoping you do "Mind the gap" without us.
