Golden Week

Windy Wednesday

04th May, 2011

We loaded everything onto the trusty treadlies
and pedalled along until we found a shady tree

where we shared a wonderful lunchtime picnic

 by the Abukuma River

This City.

Lent is over so we could eat baguettes again ...

Lazy Daze together. 

I can`t imagine Life with anyone else.

Some birds were chirping "Hello" to us from the tree.

 But maybe my camera is not so good ....

A happy Spring day !

Today is the first anniversary of the untimely passing of my friend, Naoko Seki, from This City.
R.I.P. Naoko_san.  I hope that you are enjoying Spring in Heaven.

Then onto shopping `n coffee.
