The youngsters are comming out to play

Everywhere we look there are young animals.  We've had lambs in the fields for about a month, skipping, gathering in little gangs and generally misbehaving.  The landscape is now being filled with cattle.  Baby calves totter by their mother's side or sleep in little nursery groups in the sunshine.  And now we are beginning to see young wildlife.  For the last few days we've had a young hare in the garden, often nibbling on the dandelion leaves just below the window.  The evenings are light until quite late now and we are able to go for long walks.  It's still a little chilly though.

The weather has been variable but it has produced a constantly changing light and, as you can see, the landscape is becoming greener and more lush.  Summer is on its way.
