Actually back...

On 14th April I blipped a silhouette of a swallow, claiming that they were back. This is something I do every year - it's interesting to see how the arrival date changes from year to year. 

However, despite the happy sight of a few swallows swooping and soaring above the house, the small shed in which they have always taken up residence (for the 11 years we've been here and, no doubt, many years before that) remained empty. Until now... this weekend our swallows finally returned, much to Mrs T's delight.
