Whirl, birds, whirl

Spin, world, spin, and
send Swifts back
and back and back
to us again.

House Martins are back, but we haven’t seen Swifts or Swallows yet. I don’t think they would be around on a day like today anyway.

Last week we watched ‘The Lost Words Spell Songs’ concert performed at the Natural History Museum. Absolutely stunning. Gordon came to see what I was watching and stayed for the whole concert. Wonderful singing and playing and the chance to watch Jackie Morris paint. Well worth finding - I think it’s on YouTube until the end of this month. It was done as a charity event for the Urban Nature Project.
