Stilllearning Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 As noted elsewhere, cuckoos here for a week, frogs started singing away in the stream at the foot of the hill, and yesterday we saw our first swallow of the year. Walking by the river Gartempe we photographed the wild flowers: stitchwort, anemones, lungwort, campions and early purple orchids. Spring is definitely here. Only 14c today, but 26c forecast for later in the week, if one was to believe forecasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if that was you! There are a lot of boats on the system called Firefly though. Hence my uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the engine just spins the prop round and round and makes no progress it would be well named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
