I forgot to add that we have seen swallows and house martins over the last week. We first saw a house martin on (I think) April 10th, but I wasn't sure and didn't quite believe it. But over the last couple of days we have definitely seen house martins and swallows over the paddocks here. We also have dandelions and buttercups appearing in the grass. But it is still cold!
Some research and observation has led me to think that the whole side of the toll road is an old hazel wood, coppiced some years ago and now a riot of stems. They are starting to blossom. As we were there this afternoon, a sudden breeze got up and the branches knocked together again like walking sticks.
