#Spring is definitely in the air, #light is returning and staying longer, temperatures are higher. Most importantly #daffodils are everywhere! #Grasmere beckons!

A track on Dartmoor leading to the far horizon

A track on Dartmoor leading to the far horizon

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

#Dartmoor

Yes they were! Jon came on and said hereโ€™s a song from Norfolk and paused and everyone laughed!!! I love Al of those youโ€™ve named! Bellowhead is my first love, but I guess itโ€™s Jonโ€™s voice too!

They called the medley โ€œ3 tunesโ€ so weโ€™ll go with that, you are hounding hounding someone about it, beats me. Itโ€™s what itโ€™s called on their album!!!

This is a remarkable time for observant people: today is the 1st of Ramadan, and also Ash Wednesday. Yesterday was the Lunar New Year, and also Rosh Chodesh Adar for Jews. It is unusual for so many of these to line up so precisely.

Whatever you celebrate, may it bring you closer to your best self.

English Bluebells seeds and their leaf shoots

English Bluebells seeds and their leaf shoots

Every year we spend multiple back breaking days collecting English Bluebell seeds by hand directly from seed pods

We then sow by hand where there are gaps

This is the reward

The taproots have already anchored the seeds, so now the first leaf shoots have broken ground

This is wonderful news, however, heโ€™s not being charged with being a pervert, but for his treason. I know which one Iโ€™d like him to answer for and so would the victims! But I guess itโ€™s a bit like Al Capone!!

I hope this is just the beginning of many, many men being arrested, convicted and jailed.
