House Martins, you lucky sod! A true sign that days are getting longer and warmer 😀
It's wet and windy up here 🙁
Like the shots of the birds though 🙂
The seasons do seem to be shifting back - colder in December than January/February. Summer in April/May. Wet and grey for the rest of the year.
No way it's spring. Torrential rain and howling wind here in Glasgow.
It's summer 8)
I think roper may be a bit further south than the rest of us 🙂
I know it's spring here as the farmers are muck spreading in the fields along my commute. Consequently my bike and cycling clothes smell of chicken / cow muck.
I will mostly be cycling with my mouth closed for the next week or so.
Roper is in Spain right?
What with his spiders and his location, I really begrudge him his success 😉
I do live in Spain with plentiful mountains, sunshine, beaches, skiing, tapas...... but you have a good selection of spiders there in the UK too 😉
Round here the blackbirds are starting to sound off a bit more and the snowdrops and celandines are sticking their heads out. Won't trust it till February's done though.
