Olive and Popeye went out into the garden today, they were very happy.
First they played hide and Seek.."I can see you Popeye"

then they used the hanging basket as a swing

Soon Popeye lost the plot and thought he was 'Jack in the Beanstalk' ...can you see him?

This 'ere hedgehog makes a great bucking bronco

It's the George cross that is on Olive and Popeye's mind as they search for objects to dress up in so they can join in the festivities at the local country pub.

"We need a George Cross flag Olive...Will I look good with this footie relic draped around me"?

The candle lit service at the church last night was quite moving wasn't it Popeye?,

"Sure was Olive but i'm ready for an Easter egg now"

Ha! fancy Isadora having to go back to the work in the bakery tomorrow after all that time off!
It is an early start and I bet she hasn't realised that the clocks go forward tomorrow, losing her another hour's sleep

"You'd better change the clocks now Popeye before we forget".

"Can you manage now? i'm steadying it up"

Didn't we have a lovely time in Andalucia Popeye?

You even learnt to swim

And we blended in with the tiled pattern of the fountain so well that I almost lost you!!

wasn't it nice of Isadora to arrange a couple of excursions for us, the trip to the mosque in Cordoba was particularly fab.

and here we are at the palace in Seville
