I miss the sea. Specifically, I miss Kare Kare, my spiritual home – scene of many defining moments in my life, happy and sad, and probably the first place I take anyone who visits me in New Zealand. I miss the sea at Koh Lanta in Thailand too – a much friendlier sea than on the tumultuous west coast of New Zealand and not nearly so majestic but languid, tepid, like bathwater left too long alone.

I have to shield the screen from the glare of the golden sunlight streaming in the picture windows as I type. I can, for the first time in more than six months, contemplate eating salad without a shiver. It’s possible to believe that soon, I will be able to venture out without a coat. When we went for a walk today, the profusion of blossoms – cherry, apple and pear – reminded me that in Japan, everyone will be drinking copious amounts of sake and beer and celebrating the coming of spring rather rowdily.
