Where is the rain? They keep saying we shall have rain, but it’s not yet arrived. We had a spot or two, but nothing much yet. The rain clouds come over but pass over so quick even if it does want to rain it wouldn’t have chance to as the rain clouds zoom pass fast.
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Grinder & Tree
The grinding sound filled a rather grey dull day , it sounded like the grinder was matching the day. A tree stump was being removed as it diseased. But not quite in the same place but near an other tree was planted to replace the diseased one .

Brimstone
A brimstone butterfly flies past . The clouds at twilight looked like a pod of dolphins. Rain has arrived few spots but it’s here .

Raven.9
The raven walks up from one end of the path to the other as he does he pecks away at the grass verge, then he takes flight right over my head that I actually feel his wings and he caws as he goes past.
Sunshine Later?
After a few lovely spring days the overcast weather came in . The sky is just grey and white no blue to be seen. But the weather people say that the sunshine will be along later.
No signs of the slugs and snails maybe it is still to cold for them or that they have gone elsewhere.

Magic
The scent of the bluebells wafted through the wood along side with the scent of the trees and grass added to to a nice gentle stroll through the woods. The breeze was chilly but it helped to carry the scent through the woods. The rustle of the leaves and the bird songs added magic to a lovely spring morning walk .

Magnificent
The early morning coolness promises to turn into an other beautiful day. The two beech trees are now in full leaf looking really magnificent. The pigeon in one of them thinks so too! It is cooing to his heart’s content.
