What a week it’s been weather wise! We’ve gone from a generous dumping of snow and temperatures hovering around -5°C last Sunday through occasional rain, sunny periods, UV factors up and down, zephyr winds and mustang gales. Is it spring or isn’t it? Well, I’m seeing increasingly more wildflowers so I guess it must be. Here’s a selection from this week’s wanders.

Colt’s-foot (Tussilago farfara)

Daisy (Bellis perennis)

a type of Dandelion (Taraxacum sp.)

a type of Gorse (Ulex sp.)

Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris)

Lesser celandine (Ficaria verna)

Red dead-nettle (Lamium purpureum)

a species of Speedwell (probably Germander) (Veronica sp.)

Three-cornered leek (Allium triquetrum)
