Have just read wonderful story about how when William Wordsworth returned from a walk on our beloved fells, he told his wife Dorothy "I wondered lonely as a cow..." She had to correct him!

Weather has gone mad. Freezing cold with snow
last week. Very mild weather pouring rain this week. Today it's bright sunshine
but cold.
The recent warmth means that
everything is growing like mad.
