cyclamen – From Pyrenees to Pennines

Another hint of Spring

Walking past Ripon Cathedral this morning, I was stopped dead in my tracks by this host of coral-coloured cyclamen. Can Spring be far behind?

I was out for a convalescent constitutional this afternoon: William had passed A Bug onto me last week, and I’ve been a little delicate. I hadn’t taken my camera with me, only my phone, so these images aren’t the finest. But I don’t care. They’re evidence that spring is on the way. I wish you could hear, as I could, the birds singing as they do only when they too know that short winter days have passed. Yes, spring is springing.
