Apologies for the gap since last post – had another viral stomach infection until middle of this week which flared-up Easter Friday.
April is a month to relish in the hedgerows, roadside verges, churchyards and indeed in the fields of growing crops. This afternoon walked Cliff Rd., South Ferriby, then onto chalk shingle beach to Leggott’s quarry and back along ‘low road’. Classic joys of April all in evidence – skylark (see above) hovering with warning call above field of winter wheat, drooping cluster flower-heads of cowslips, first flower-heads of cow parsley, swallows feeding on the wing in increasing numbers, dandelion flower-heads opening to respond to breaks in the cloud cover, lots of flowering ground ivy, occasional bugle and periwinkle in flower.
Have completed preparation and booklet for Friends of Beverley Minster church studies day on 5th May to Harpham, Lowthorpe, Nafferton and Kilham.
Power point presentation ready for talk on The River Hull, its History and Navigation.
Going to Worcester on Monday so hoping to take laptop and blog from there.
