Today, I could almost imagine what a Summers day might be like.
Whilst things are starting to ‘colour up’ around here, it is happening very slowly, everywhere is incredibly dry. We’ve not had any ‘April showers’ of note, as the farmer put it the other day, ‘Its not rained properly since it snowed, and all the snow ended up in the lanes not the fields.’ He chain harrowed the field the other day, it was biscuit dry and the tractor was trailed by clouds of dust.
I don’t think it would take much to start a moorland fire.
We’ve taken delivery of an SLR camera at work this week, a NikonD3100, I’ve brought it home for ‘field trials’ the photos here are taken with it.

Let’s hope that the rain doesn’t try too hard to make up for a dry spring as happened last year.

That looks mighty fine to me. I hope it’s the beginning of a beautiful and calm spring for you!

Love the camera results. Yes let’s hope the weather continues to improve! 4 weeks today we will be heading over to the IOM TT! We need good weather for motorbike adventures.

I know what you mean; the garden is bone dry. But wasn’t it only this last winter when the garden was underwater for about a month? That seems so long ago.
