Traditionally the date when birds begin to choose their mates and start nest building. I haven't noticed birds collecting nesting material.

Finally the snowdrops are beginning to open, the soft south west wind is encouraging springs awakening, days are lenghtening, warmer times beckon.

Listening to our Ancestors


Listning to our Ancestors


The Celtic Feast of Spring's awakening. The snowdrop should be in flower but they are three weeks late this year. The buds on the trees are beginning to fatten and catkins are in bloom. In flower in the garden, mahonia, honeysuckle and viburnam, to eat in the garden, leeks and chervil.

Nine inches of snow blue sky and sunshine, wonderful, life stopped for little while then returned to normal as we learned walk and use public transport.
