False

For the first day of Spring.

The wildflower meadow in the park is beginning to come back to life. Cowslips are usually the first flowers on show, and I did find one, but this was something that I hadn’t noticed before. My guess would be it’s False Oxlip, a hybrid of Cowslip and Primrose, but I’m happy to be advised otherwise by anyone knowing their flora.

Later, I was at Bradford City for a key game in the contest for promotion or play-off places. Carlisle United were visiting, and at start of play were six points and a couple of places ahead of City in the play-off spots. After a strong February, City have fallen back into a pattern of drawing games, and tonight gave them their fourth in a row. Carlisle dominated the first half, City the second, and although the woodwork was hit a few times it remained goalless. Carlisle will be happier with the point.
