The Sights and Sounds of Spring

After the glorious week of warm spring sunshine and cloudless skies we enjoyed last week in the UK - yes, even here in the wet and windy High Peak! - we have returned to cooler, cloudier weather with even snow forecast on high ground (though no sign of that yet…). 

I think we were all keen to get out and about and enjoy this gift of Nature with walks, gardening and the like - and I was no exception. It was fabulous to have so much sunlight to bask in after the long winter months, and to wander round the garden spotting everything bursting into life after the dormant season. It was amazing how the garden changed after just a week of warm weather - my rather tragic looking kale plants, for example, put on well over an inch of growth and loads of new leaves in just a few days! Trees and shrubs have started budding and in some cases new leaves appearing. More spring flowers are appearing all the time and there is a sense of hope and expectation of better things to come.
