violets in the hedgerow
spring seems to be here. I found violets in the wood and in the hedgerows today. lots of primroses out now, on the banks
and in the wood
one solitary violet in the wood
a clump of white violets near Patch Wood in the bank
and a big spread near Clip Street Farm
but the barometer shows very low pressure, we are in for a big gale tomorrow. last week’s brought down a beautiful lone beech tree which stood in the hedge in Clip Street. its branches had grown like a head of hair in the wind, stretching away from the predominant westerlies.

The flowers look very beautiful. We are under feet of snow here, Spring seems so far away.
Also, I thought the gales were in the Fall and in the South of England?????

it seems we are quite sheltered from this current bout of gales – no – the further North you go the worse they are, but the exposed coasts get it very badly. and March is usually very blustery!
