please take me for a walk

Some creatures have started their work for the year. Some are just lounging about looking pathetic

a thicket of thorns

the male wrens are chirping away very vigorously, and are often very hard to see in the hedges and thickets. As the link says they have very loud voices for such diminutive birds. I also like the idea (probably due to my lack of classical education) that they are the cave dwellers' cave dweller.

Seaton

it has been a very sunny but chilly day. For a change we went for a walk at Seaton. There was not much to see just yet but it is a very pretty wooded valley and a popular place to walk the dogs on a Sunday morning. And every one was happy and smiling.

two snowdrops and a crocus

a few flower photos to keep us on blog until things liven up once more

St David's day

not our native daffodils, but a celebration of St David's day anyway at the entrance to Khyl Cober, a little housing estate on the way into the village
