Spring is officially here, though the weather still cannot quite make up its mind. The daffodils and crocuses are out in droves, with an occasional sprinkling of cherry blossom. But you cannot help feeling they are all at risk from a sudden cold snap. A bit of sunshine over the Bank Holiday weekend would be welcome.
The long weeks of Lent are almost over, the sombre events of Holy Week still to come. The next few days will be an opportunity to pause, take a moment out of the noise and bustle of everyday life, and reflect on the meaning of the Easter season. Perhaps to make a few more resolutions to replace those that have slipped away. To try to live better. To believe in a happier future.
And yet... And yet... Another terrorist outrage, this time in Brussels. It is difficult to comprehend the depth of hatred that could justify and execute such horrors. We easily forget how thin, how fragile, is the veneer of civilisation. We easily lose hope.
