The cow parsley is in full froth and looks so beautiful with the afternoon sun filtering through it. The blackbird song is joyful too. 🐦‍⬛ 🎶

It’s cold here this morning in mid Devon - yesterday there was ice on the hen’s water - but these forget me nots are bringing spring to the fringes of my veg plot. They’ve nested amongst velvety stachys, aquilegia, muscari and foxgloves. Sound up for the birdsong - such clarity.

I spotted these speckled woods sparring in a glade. So beautiful 🦋

Magnolias looking resplendent in the spring light at our little local arboretum yesterday.

And now, following in the snowdrops’ wake come the wild daffodils. These are daintier and paler than the garden varieties and are very happy in this scrap of woodland carpeted with periwinkle next to the river Creedy in Devon.

I’m having a jangly, grief-filled day, but here amongst the peace of the snowdrops and the softly churning river it’s all starting to feel a bit better. #gardening #naturewriting
