Yellows, greens and greys


      Dull days, grey skies and rain, the boss and I saw the first House Martins and Swallows over three weeks ago chasing insects over the river, but they seem to have pressed on to somewhere else or maybe they have turned round and gone back to Africa.
      In the greyness and rain there are some bright spots, those cheery yellow cowslips are back and doing their best to liven up  the overcast days.
      Full marks to the farmers who are looking after the wild flowers and letting them seed and spread along the river banks, dykes and field margins.
