Spring Has Sprung

Today was a beautifully sunny, blue-sky day and it truly felt like spring was on it's way! I even have the rosy, sun-kissed cheeks to prove it, or is that due to the glass of wine I've just quaffed?! All the flowers look brighter than I've ever seen them before and the blossom is out in full force.

Anyway, today is my last day in England as I'm returning to Tokyo tomorrow. It is, of course, with some trepidation, but I miss my hubby, as well as my beloved Japan, and need to get on with my life there. I am still very moved and upset by the events that have happened there and am aware that there are still nuclear threats, but at this moment, I need to be there. A Japanese friend of mine sent me this piece from the New Yorker, relating to the events of the past ten days. I wanted to share it and you can read it here.
