    It looks like the badger cull has finally been called off. Well it will be 'phased out' but at least the end is in sight.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Cowslips are up and about to open in the local lanes.  That means the wild primroses will follow soon and then it'll be the bluebells.   Love them.

    A tiny bit of hawthorn in my mixed native hedge has leaves opening...   

    Congrats, @Hostafan1 and Hubby!  Nightmare over.   :)

    Thanks @Liriodendron and to everyone else who has left messages. 
    I'm most humbled and touched by the kindness.

    We travelled south into Suffolk today ... despite a chill wind and heavy rain the hedges are greening up, there’s blackthorn blossom and golden pussy willow, and the hedgebanks are full of primroses 😊

    my reason to be cheerful is that we had a tin of baked beans on Monday night " best before Feb 2018" and we're still alive to tell the tale.

    I finally sold my last bat box. I bought a job lot of bat and bird boxes a few years ago, kept two for myself and sold the rest. The profit paid for my small greenhouse so I'm happy with that. I've just got three swallow nests to find homes for now. I had a place for them but my brother-in-law doesn't want birds pooping on his tractor :|
