To escape the gloom, Françoise and Ian took us all on trip - destination unknown. We were told to pick up tickets to Stanstead airport and await further instructions.

We almost missed our flight home becasue we couldn't find the airport. Turns out it had been renamed after messers Falcone and Borsellino, magistrates who were assasinated for sending down too many gangsters.

It even got a bit warm in Amsterdam by the time George and Bernie came over to visit later in April and we took Agata out for the first time this year:
