What a wonderful surprise the weather has engendered.
The array of beautiful colours the pea greens of the hedge rows interspersed by pale pinks of the black thorn.
Nature has come back to life and it is such a relief to see after such a long winter.
On our last trip out I even managed to see my first ducklings and hear the wonderful noise of bird song waking you from your slumbers every morning.
This is England at its very best and cruising through this wonderland of bird song and colour is almost impossible to beat.
