Iiiiiiits spriiiing.....

NOW!

What a lovely day, quite warm and sunny with a light mild W breeze.

Boulmer is still just about bird-less but the absolute highlight of the day was when I walked Bunty along the runways of the Old Airfield. The first Skylarks were in full song. At least 8 were towering and twittering away, with goups of 3 or 4 chasing around squabbling, a proper exhaultation! I don't think anything signifies the onset of spring like the Skylarks pouring it out on the first nice day of the year.

Shirt sleeve attire you could say - had to remember it was February.

Mind you, I was on the football terraces today and a liberal amount of libations always help warm the cockles.........
