Newark

At long last there seems to be some signs of life on the apple tree.  Ironically, this is on the tree that for the last two years has borne no fruit at all - perhaps this marks a change?
And then on to Newark yesterday, on a beautifully sunny spring day. 

There was a small market taking place, and with the blue sky, Newark seemed to have almost a continental air about it...

The castle was looking tempting:


but no time to visit today.  We'll be back there in about 6 weeks.

And today we leave for the Cotswolds, and grannie's birthday party.  95 this year, and so she's planned and organised an enormous gathering - there will be people there that I have never seen - distant cousins and remote relatives.  It will however be interesting to put faces to names, having been heard about them all my life.  We hope to visit Kenilworth Castle on the way - traffic and driving time permitting - and as long as this sunny weather holds.
Have a good weekend!
