Hope for the Lappinch

After two days of roaring winds and pouring rain, a walk up to the Newt Pond produced a surprise.

The previously plain green field was suddenly dotted with dabs of colour… on closer inspection, daisies were flowering, some red dead nettle had bloomed and a patch of chickweed was preparing its flowers…

(Have you ever seen a daisy with a red centre like this before? First time for me…! It felt like finding a lucky four-leaf clover!!)

From the dark days of winter it seems that spring is creeping up on us after all, yay!
