We have, just this weekend, changed to the thin duvet on the bed. Why am I telling you this piece of household trivia?
Well, more than seeing swallows...which appeared a week ago, more than frogspawn... which was round in March, when the wife says change to the thin duvet, then I know that spring is here.
Sure enough, I think spring might actually be here. There is new grass growth in the field, the elm is showing green leaves. Although the hawthorn is called the mayflower, up here it'll have to be renamed to the mayleaf.
It is now staying light until nearly 10pm and its light at 4am, I think I can safely say spring has come to the Beggshill Bothy.
