…and it will be spring, by the Met Office’s definition. It certainly felt springlike when I set out. There will be rain later – there’s been a lot of it recently. The fields are completely sodden, and refuse to accept any more water, so instead it’s running off down the roads. Despite the wetness, the signs of spring are everywhere – hawthorns leaves are brilliant green in the hedgerows, there are primroses and periwinkles (garden escapees?) and the blackthorn blossom is starting to appear.

This used to be my daily dog walk years ago; sometimes twice as I had 5 dogs at one time. I never tired of it. Many thanks for the reprise (if soggy).
It’s always a good standby… There’s always something different to see too.
