A glorious day, again, and a break from gardening by way of a riverside walk. The Wood Anemones were at their best - not rain and wind battered as they usually are! A few Primroses, Violets, the first Wild Garlic and the first Bluebells. The main woodland Bluebell area is yet to begin flowering - those out were beside the path near Caldbeck. The leaves of the Herb Paris were just showing, as was the first Toothwort. Lots of Peacock butterflies too.

| It's been dry recently! |

| The winter's gales have felled quite a few trees. |
 |
| Most of the Bluebells aren't in bud yet. |
