There hasn't been much change in the trees at Hatfield although I do detect possibly signs of a few leaves starting to appear on the ash.

One evening we saw a rainbow and we took the bat detector outside several times and bats have awakened from hibernation during the warm spell.
View over the valley from the rear of the caravan - there is a pool down there and also a lovely wild flower meadow.
On the Friday we went for a walk along a local lane near the church. Although the weather looked warm and sunny there was a very cold wind.
Primroses, Red Dead Nettle and Dog's Mercury in the hedgerow.

We walked as far as the disused railway line before turning back.

Oontitoomps!
I spotted this badger drawing or sticker on a parked car.
We came home the following day - Saturday.
Since returning home I've had yet another bout of cellulitis :( Thankfully, I've finished yet another week on penicillin and, touch wood, it seems to have cleared up for now!
All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one of mine or my son's I would be grateful for an email first - thanks).

Plenty of wild primrose in the cemtery here!
Thank you Simon - seems a good year for them :)
A lovely view from your dining room window. The trees will soon be covered in green foliage again. It's good to have such a lovely walk close by. Sorry to read of the return of the cellulitis, I hope you can find out why it keeps coming back as it sounds such a horrid thing. Love the badger illustration:)
Thanks so much Rosie. I did ask one of the GP's to refer me to a specialist but she wanted me to have a blood test first. That was nearly 3 weeks ago and I still haven't had the results. I suppose I will have to chase them. tbh I am getting totally fed up with the constant bouts - so hard to plan anything as I never know when it will return.
I'm going backwards through your posts! I can't believe you had that rotten cellulitis yet again. I hope your gut flora has not been destroyed by all the ABs. :-( Anyway, I know that it cleared up and you managed to go for further walks, thankfully!!
Thanks Mandy - I can't believe it either - totally fed up with it and I worry about gut flora too. I think there may be some yogurts you can get to help restore them - need to find out! Getting to the stage where as soon as AB's finished I need to go out or to Herefordshire asap in case it returns!!
