Last week’s walk was not so great, the weather against us, no sparkling sun. But there were plenty of signs of new life. And at this early-year that counts for much.

Again, thank you, Sadje. I long for the return of summer and the days when I shan’t have to hunt for the merest sign of burgeoning life
