The snow stopped about 4pm yesterday, but that North Easterly wind blowing straight from Scandinavia and even further north is keeping us firmly in the grip of winter. For a fleeting moment this morning I thought that the sun may just break through the milky white cloud cover that has been overhead for days (and seems more like weeks). Yes, a warm glow welcomed the morning…..
But little else had changed in the woods. Leaves of the young Beech still survive the winter giving their own glow to a dark corner…..
Ivy shoots have pushed their way through the snow blanket that covers the roots……
It is ironic that this week, is the week, that British Summer Time officially starts – and we haven’t even had Spring. The woods still very much a scene of winter…….
There is a saying, part of a Rhyme….
‘March comes in like a Lion and goes out like a Lamb’
Well this Lion is still roaring away!
