Five spring sights...
The bright wrappings of Easter Eggs... Bluetits checking out the nestboxes in the garden... Drifts of daffodils in the hedgerow... The hazy promise of fresh green across the woods... A pair of ravens wheeling and diving in their courtship flight...
Five spring smells...
The pot of hyacinths on the table perfuming the room... Damp earth after rain... The first cut grass of the season... Warm, spicy hot cross buns... Pungent wild garlic leaves in the woods...
Five spring sounds...
The distant drumming of a woodpecker... A chorus of birdsong at dawn and dusk... Soft rain against the window... Lambs bleating in the fields... Children singing on St David's Day...
Five spring tastes...
Purple sprouting broccoli... Chocolate, marzipan - Easter treats!... Rhubarb fool... St David's day cawl... Leeks fresh from the garden...
Five spring sensations...
The soft powderpuffs of pussywillow catkins... Smooth twigs spiky with leafbuds... The chill of fierce winds softened by warm sunshine... The tenderness of new leaves... The warm smooth shell of a new-laid egg...
