Finally, wild spring flowers have started appearing all over the place. These are Anemone nemorosa, or, if you prefer, wood anemone in West Wood, just outside Thaxted in Essex.

We had one of our regular visits to Rowney Woods today – it was a great day for clouds. Great big fluffy white clouds abounded – here’s a shot of the edge of Rowney Woods…with clouds.
