We welcomed a new walker, Val, today as we set off into the Country Park and across the fields in hot sunshine.  The leaves are beginning to open and soon we will have beautiful greenery  everywhere.  The combination of rain and sun also ensured that the brambles that the farmer cut along the footpath are growing back apace.  Heather, like a good girl guide, is always ready and came armed with a pair of secateurs with which she cut a channel for us to cross the ditch.  When we entered the churchyard I noticed tiny yellow flowers in the grass, their faces open towards the sun.  Val called them Aconites and Heather called them Celandines (or it might have been the other way around).  You can make up your own mind.
