sunshine!!

It's a beautifulday!! At last,some very warm sunshine;bringing with it the real hope of Spring round the corner.The birds are starting to seek mates and there is an air of excitement in our garden!Paintpot,our regular blackbird who has a streak of white down his left side (resembling a flash of paint)has started to pay attention to his mate and is filling himself up with currants as if his life depends on it - building himself up for the paternal responsibilities ahead!The dawn chorus is a delight to hear and, as if responding to the call,the Spring flowers are making their way out of the ground to remind us that they were there all the time;just resting.All this reminds me Who is in charge...
