Out with the dog on Sunday and saw plenty of hazel catkins in our ancient local wood.
Made me smile and think of the coming season
Anyone else seeing them yet?

I need to start weeding, alreadyI've got a dandelion in full bloom
Blackcurrants are fattening up their buds too.........if we get a hard frost there's going to be a lot of fruit not set this year.
The longer, lighter days are a pleasure though

So many things happening. A chap I know heard the cuckoo at the weekend! Ramsons are coming on well. The woodpeckers were going at it hammer and tongs this morning when I went down to the woods to pick up my camera. Got blue tits nesting in my roof. Charlies are busy making dens. I'm getting that vibe again.

No catkins yet, however the cornel blossom has started to peek out at the world, always one of the first signs of spring here.

When Finns capture a bear, they must hold a feast in the dark,
drinking the health of the bear from its skull, acting and
growling like the bear.
