Spring is bursting out all over

What a difference a day makes.
As it is a Sunday we always try to find a peaceful spot, and so it was a drive out to Naburn Locks for a picnic and a walk by the river.
A glorious Spring day.
Lovely to see the sticky buds of the horse chestnuts bursting open. I spotted a conker on the ground and noticed a small shoot so I have brought it home and will plant it in a pot. Not sure what I will do with it but maybe it will be alright in a pot a few years.

We saw some deer, heard our first curlew of the year,and also spotted our first Brimstone butterfly.

We went to find a new farm shop in Naburn village. Pleased to find it open I bought a bottle of Lemon, Garlic, Oregano, and Thyme Yorkshire Rapeseed Oil.

We called at RSPB Fairburn Ings on the way home. Now that was busy. Didn’t stop long.
Now having a refreshing cuppa.
Looking forward to a few more days of sunshine.

An unexpected card waiting for us on the doormat when we got home.
