Today’s treasure, Viola odorata alba (correct me if I have got the nomenclature wrong). First this clump and then others and further sprinkles along the hedgerow.

Bluebell no.2 in a different bit of woodland to yesterday’s initial find.

Yesterday I went looking for windflowers, Anemonoides nemorosa, and found this, my first this spring. Further into the woodland and there were many.

My favourite sign of spring. The first buds of the blackthorn blossom opening; I love the pin-prick effect of the multitude of flower buds, the winter twigs and the coating of lichen. So beautiful.

Pussy willow, yellow against a blue sky this morning, and further along the path, violets. #colour

www.theguardian.com/environment/... The delights and, be careful, the perils, of foraging, with a timely nod to Nature's reciprocity from Michael White

A timely blossom guide from @nicwilson.bsky.social A reminder that I need to get out and check my sepals to be sure of my blossom identification 😁

An icy wind again. A herd of 20 roe deer ripple across the winter barley. A halo of light in the topper-most treetop; new leaf? catkins? rare sun-spot? The entrails of a deer smarting, glistening red in dried grass, no bones. A heron rising from the pond. Wild narcissi. Spring.

A box full of precious letters and diaries; looking back enables one to fathom the present, and move forward. I love hearing afresh my conversations with my grandpa, and dear, dear friends. #amwriting

My CDD* has at last come to an end @themarshtit.bsky.social In the usual place for my first chiffchaffs of the year, this yesterday, one calling from the woods nearby, another responding from within these trees ... *chiffchaff deficiency disorder

Writing about the river today (Medway) & harking back to May last. Golden, sunny, enchanted. Beauty & sorrow; the cuckoo is glorious, the ash die-back appalls. A moment before I heard reed warblers, a moment later, a nightingale ...

So delighted to have ‘Catchment’ on The Clearing, thank you @jonwoolcott @LittleToller www.littletoller.co.uk/the-clearing...

It’s going to take a while for the scope of this book to percolate. The language is rich, boundary breaking. Its ideas plunge us into necessarily fantastic possibilities; we must be brave & creative in our thinking. I am grateful. Magnificent @RobGMacfarlane #isariveralive

Today and this day last year. Prunus cerasifera, plum cherry.

First snowdrops. Photo taken a week ago. On the bank of the parish boundary, with bluebell foliage peeking through the leaf litter 💙

Pure excitement! 💙💚

A reminder for self that yes, we have had snow.

Yesterday’s birthday gifts, and the greatest gift of all and I’m SO lucky, the most amazing family 💝
