At last, after being showered with rain for weeks the sun came out and everything started coming to life in the woods after the sleepy winter months and the slow start to spring.
The leaves that started to sprout last month are fresh and green. The horsechestnuts by the wishing bridge make giant umbrellas for sheltering from the spring showers.
The hawthorns blossum pretty white and pinkish flowers all through the woods, along the track to Pear Tree Corner and in the Water Meadows, scattering the paths with tiny petals whenever the wind blows.
Walking in the woods today Or perhaps it was just a bluebell
I saw a flash of blue Fluttering in the breeze
Could it have been a fairy How I wish it was a fairy
In a dress of such a hue? Hiding amongst the leaves!
Welcome to my home!
Hoping there are no Human Beans about ...
