At the beginning of the April the grass was still looking a little dead, but there were signs that the hawthorne was beginning to get a touch of new green.
I was then away from home for a week in Devon, and when I came back - everywhere was looking much greener. We had had a little rain and the temperature had risen so it felt warmer, and now we can almost see the grass growing!
An evening shot with the sun going down, making the grass look even more intense in colour.
As well as the hawthorne leaves appearing, in the middle distance I can now see the bright green of the larch trees coming and the red/brown of the silver birch before the leaves show.
The two little lambs above are waiting for their mum to come back, as she had escaped onto the old railway embankment through the fence. They tried to follow her but couldn't quite make it, and after lots of baa-ing, they settled down together to wait - she did eventually return!
The grass is even growing again at the top of the hill now.
Lets hope everything continues to catch up in May!
