Now I'm off to Normandy for a few days, with a sheaf of submissions to look at, a husband, a dog, a (still) new car, a camera, a sample of every thickness of clothing we possess - going away in early May is lovely but unpredictable - and NO COMPUTER.
The yellow azalea languished long in the wrong place in the garden, now it is flourishing with others of its kind near the house in a specially constructed ericaceous bed. A smell camera not having been invented, rub ylang-ylang perfume on the computer screen to get the idea.

Have a good vacation from the computer and good weather!
Lovely to be back, although sorry you're not about.....but have a wonderful computerless time!!
Time away... bon voyagee.
(Tell me about the clothing weight issue, hard to figure out what to pack to move when one day it's a coat, the next shorts and tank top.)
Hope you have had a lovely time. It's jolly hot here so I sure you are having wonderful weather in Normandy. Make sure you sample plenty of calvados.
I knew you wouldnt be able to resist posting...
Have a great time - and what a beautiful yellow azalea!
You do not mention bucket and spade, shrimping net and floppy sun hat, with which I imagine you and Tom, to say nothing of Mol, gaily sporting amid the sands and rock pools of Deauville.
I've never seen a yellow azalea! We have some white ones in the garden -- just now in bloom. In Houston we used to get lots of vivid pinks and fuschias.
Do enjoy your holiday; but I look forward to your return via computer!
Enjoy your computerless time. Which is silly to say, since you wont read this until you once more computered!
My mother loved yellow & deep gold Azaleas.
Beautiful Photos...I'll be back. I scanned back a bit but have TOO much work to do to stay for long.
Have a lovely trip. Blessings, EJT
We'll miss you. Have fun.
Have a great time. No chasing white peacocks and floating jellyfish. Just relax and enjoy the lovely poems. In the company of greatness I think.
Enjoy yourself! Chapbook is in the post.
