Sunday 1 March

I was fooled this morning, the temperature was up and I thought lighter clothing would be fine, the wind factor made it well below, it cut right through us. After two hours I was glad to get home to a cup of tea & my porridge but before I could have that, boots had to be hosed down along with Meg having her legs washed all in cold water. 

Billy Swan was looking every inch the powerful top male he has become, the youngster is still on the lodge but not for long.

Crocus planted near a memorial bench

Plenty of Lesser Celandine - Ficaria verna in flower

Memorial Bench near the site of the old cottages, the lady lived here as a girl.

Take Care
