It is now well into June and there are still things from April that I haven’t posted about. April was a month of amazing weather and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying the sunshine. According to the Met Office, it was the third warmest April on record since 1914.
The hammock came out of storage and was strung between the climbing frame.
Dandelion season is over now, but we did our share of seed dispersal.
The great swathes of yellow rapeseed were the most spectacular feature of the landscape during April. I had trouble capturing the brilliance of the colours and it’s effect on the landscape with the camera, but we did find a footpath through a field, returning home covered in a dust of yellow pollen.
The flowers are almost entirely past now and the seed pods have started to swell. The wheat grains are starting to ripen now, too. It is a beautiful landscape here.

I’m sorry I didn’t get to see River playing rounders. It looks like so much fun. All three girls are beautiful and I miss them all plus Andy and even Darby. Love, Grammy Gail

Wow, those flowers and the ladies in the field of flowers are beautiful!!! Rapeseed, isn’t that what canola oil is made from? I sure do miss seeing fields of wildflowers. Thanks for sharing.
Love,
