April

April already, the year is flying by! Lots happening outside in the garden, the hedgerows and fields, nature just getting quietly on with it, a lot of folks oblivious to the wonder of it all! The daffodils ahve been especially good this year, probably because of the decntly cold winter we had; wild primroses have been everywhere, blooming in profusion on the banks and verges, under the hedgerows, very pretty, and always look best in the wild, although I do have some in the garden. Ramsons well on their way, won;t be long until that pungent smell hits the nostrils LOL Looking forward to that,a realy seasonal delight :)

Oh, to be in England
Now that April's there,
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England - now!

Robert Browning


Looking forward to April showers, chocolate eggs, newborn animals, longer daylight hours, sunshine and flowers.
