Hello, my brave band of supporters! I'm sure you are looking forward to the Easter holidays. Here are some Easter eggs for you to enjoy. I had one for my breakfast, so then there were four!

Now, I have an idea that you might be interested in. I want to make a live video recording at a certain time each week. I propose every Wednesday at 12 midday. Would that be a time when you could be sure to watch? Please let me know if there is a better time and I'll try to accommodate as many of ye as I can. I'll have a beautiful producer with me, so we'll be aiming for a shortish video - certainly no more than10 minutes. As a taster, I've been making one or two ten-second videos. I'll see if I can include one in my next blog.

And I respond well to positive criticism, so if you have suggestions to improve it all, I'll be glad to hear from you.

If you are having asparagus any time soon, try the French fashion of dipping the tips into the yolks of soft-boiled eggs.  Mmmm.

By the way, I'm approaching two thirds of the way to my full pledge now. I'd be so thrilled if you know any more people who might pledge.
