Thanks for your comments, Jayne. I love April too, although not in Paris where it can be a bit chilly. I'd forgotten about Cervantes dying on that day. Thanks for reminding me. And, do you know, I've yet to read Don Quixote.

Brilliant Martin. I did not know about it being poetry month. I actually wrote a poem today in the woods. Oh and I do so love that poem you shared. I made a recording of it once....

I loved this, Martin. April is my favourite month. Disclaimer: it's also my birthday month 😂 I thought you might be interested to know that in Spain, April 23rd is celebrated as a joint day of celebration of Shakespeare and Cervantes, who also died on the 23rd April. People gift each other books and roses. It's possibly my favourite day of the year 😊
