    Swallows, how wonderful. To me they mean Summer.
    According to some experts, animals don't do anything, unless it has a purpose, but sometimes watching Swallows doing aerial dog fights, it seems like they are doing it for the sheer joy.

    That's early.  The earliest I heard them in our old garden near Gembloux was 25/4.   Still, last year was a very warm and early spring all over wasn't it?

    We've just spotted the first of the hoopoes is back.  They make such a mournful sound but are beautiful.
