Equinox

So, we’ve arrived at the Spring Equinox, and the days are getting longer.

There are white blushes along the roads around here where the blackthorn has started to flower. That and the singing of our resident birds are always uplifting.

Last year we did not stray beyond our house and garden following the first lockdown until early June. I was still working, J was happy to be at home, and we had an exceptionally good Spring in terms of the weather. So we coped.

But it must be the first year that I have not seen any mayblossom. I really missed it, and am looking forward to seeing it again this year.
