Wednesday 7th April (A Quiet Day in Spring)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window to see new green fresh leaves in the Lime trees lining the road.   The blossom is now a minority in the small fruit trees. Today was a quiet day for Mr. Kite and His Lady. They picked greenery, flowers and shoots from their garden to place on a Special Grave.

In the afternoon they walked up the Daffodil lined avenue towards the Church of St. Gregory the Great. Looking closely amongst the trees Mr. Kite noticed Primroses and occasionally a Cowslip. A male Blackbird sang as they placed the greenery on the Special Grave; and a Blue Tit chipped in from a spectacular Cherry tree in blossom. The warm sun looked down and the Earth absorbed the heat to bring on new life.

After an hour they went home and Mr. Kite drank a tipple of Tetley tea. Cha from a quiet Mr. Kite.
