It's the small things....

A fruitless day wrestling with finances, so took a small stroll round by the river for a breath of fresh air. Spring seems slow in arriving, but good news, the wild garlic has come on a treat since the last visit two weeks ago. Much greenness, little buds, shoots and blossoms everywhere, if you look closely.

It's the small things that put it all in perspective.......

Spring has sprung...

...though there's still a bit of snow on the hills. It's also quite chilly still, so blooms, buds and blossoms are not yet in abundance; ditto the wild garlic, but soon. Easter has been and gone, school holidays been and almost gone. Walks, riverbanks, tree ring counting and a bit of sibling love and wrestling, some trees, mosses and 'helicopter skeletons' as Effie calls them....
