[Saturday 1 April]

The weather has been improving every day. Today has been beautifully warm.

It is wonderful how peaceful everything is here, almost within range of the German guns. It is altogether different to the South where there is much interest shown in what is going on.

The scenery here is beautiful though quiet. Steeples & towers peep at you through the thin blue haze that forms round here in the mornings or poke their slender points gracefully from out a cluster of poplars. We are on the Hazebrouk [Hazebrouck] road which runs right up to the firing line, consequently we have transport trains & motor dispatch riders passing every day, these & the dull mutter  to the North & West are the only things that hint at a war being carried on so close at hand.

I had a very lively evening & got home straight.
