Spring arrived with torrents of rain, and granite skies, but as the week progressed, the skies lightened to blue, with the kind of puffy grey-bottomed clouds that England is renowned for.
The natural world is bursting right now with spring-time changes; the trees in the lanes are dusted with bright green buds, birds are singing, we hear the sound of insects in the woods. So exciting!

In her journal she sketched a wee Common Newt
For my Calendar of Firsts, I painted an Ash twig, and a wee toad that Rose had found.
What is happening in the natural world around you?
Happy exploring!
