Spring has arrived

Easter is truly a turning point for the weather. Within a week, it went from barely 10 degrees to a constant mid to high 20s. The trees are all covered on blossoms and the whole country is really beautiful.


During the week-ends that we are in Plzen, we spend time out of the house enjoying the newfound freedom of not wearing 10 layers of coats and scarves. Our river is really stunning and it is a great spot for the sunday afternoon picnic ....

The view from our back and front balconies below:

The girls are getting very proficient at skating (although Sarah still finds it easier to be dragged everywhere :) and even Colin has been cought by the skating bug and has found his "wheel-legs". Skoda Park is brilliant on the week-ends and is a real hub of activity. The girls take the chance of playing in the "sandpit" which is the volley ball court when there is no-one playing, or they take up their posts as umpires.
