Mad as a March hare.

March was a it crazy crazy. We started back in Leigh so Lily could visit The Peoples.

They hung out on the beach.

And hung out with Winnie.

Back home she tried something new with her eyebrows. That I don't believe she's tried again since.

Apparently the Paston textiles cupboard is the place to be.

Happy Mothers day to THE best Mummy in the world.

As part of her art topic of youth, Lily created this amazing painting of her as a tot in nursery.

We had a visitor in our garden. He ended up by leaping up and over that massive fence at the back.

Quick trip into the city.

Lily's new passport arrived. Which means she's got to live with this picture for the next ten years.

We went back for another look at the Cintra garden. The bluebells were out.

By the end of the month we were 8 weeks into the buying process. COME ON CINTRA.

Back to Southend and ready for a homecoming gig.

Lily absolutely smashed it of course.

A St Patrick's Night triumph (with a snippet of War Pigs thrown in).

Fun as the gig was, you can't beat the after gig hotel room party.

We do enjoy a dusk walk in Catton Park.

There's that March madness again.

To try and give the cats a tiny bit of outside time, Mummy and Lily invested in cat leads.

Ziggy was into it.

Dee Dee not so much.

Lily's art gang headed into London to go gallery hopping.

And cover off a bit of hero worship.

This is Lily's first textiles project, as shared on the official Paston design Instagram.

She went to Aylsham and did a bit of haybail jumping.

Plus she found this little beauty in the charity shops.

We nipped to Cromer for a bag of chips and a look round Dave's home gallery.

The sound's not great (I'm tellin' ya) but this candid video captures just how good she's getting on guitar.

We had a fab Easter Sunday that started with Lego flowers.

There was the traditional egg hunt.

And we had the whole family over for a lovely Easter themed afternoon tea.

There was gonna be some hair bleaching (you put that down, Granddad James). But after a test strand absolutely fried Lily's hair, it's been postponed.

Here's Lily's roundup. Where will the next update be posted from...?
