All Creatures Great And Small

Spring Love


   Nest building, courtship dance and songs of love fill the magical fenland countryside, waters deep and clear run through river and drain while the blue wide skies hold mighty waterfowl and great birds of prey.
   Alive the hedgerows on this Sunday of March, no more the gales will thrash the lone eel catchers cottage, no more will willows bend on reed clad river banks, just sun filled mornings will greet us now.

Spring Monday

Sunshine, Birdsong and Fresh Spring Breeze

   Those hints of spring stand green and sounds of a fresh new summer arrive in our ears, fen folk spot those young green reed shoots that point to a summer of wide blue skies and fierce hot sun that will dry the dark soil into dust. Great water birds will gather nesting materials and the deep drains will once more hold young shoal of Roach and Perch, Heron bills again will rule the river banks and spear through clear waters has great willows kiss the mirrored current that heads to the mighty wash, alive the magical lands of the East this morning are.
