    My bees are out foraging today on tiny blue rosemary flowers which is nice to see. However, I am concerned that too much activity in February will lead to problems when we get the inevitable cold snap that is, no doubt, around the corner.

    Cricketers practising in the nets on the field across the road from my office.

    Frogs littering the road yesterday afternoon. Daffodils out in Manchester, but not in the hills where I live as yet.

    and their teachers/trainers driving "unfeasibly large" mini-buses on narrow roads that they are obviously not used to and parking in stupid places!

    Dof E kids are quite entertaining though aren't they? Spent a lovely time on top of Glaramara with one of their teachers watching a group trying to find the summit. Some bizarre compass and map work going on and complete avoidance of the obvious choice of aiming for the highest ground they could see. Must have done a complete 360 of the summit knoll at least twice.....🙄

    Maybe, but many need to be taught how to use stiles/gates rather than trying to climb over drystone walls and bringing them down in the process.
