Alive Once More

Alive Once More


   Once more the marshland of the east wakes from it's winter sleep, finches fill the hedgerows, heron and cormorants fish the drains and rivers and buds of every kind rest upon tree branch. Again the the river banks are covered in a mosaic of yellow daffodils, from white to golden butter, heads dance in the fen breeze while reed beds emerge from the ice cold waters where eel and zander feed.
   Fen tigers sow seed in kitchen gardens and livestock are placed upon lush fresh grass while the last winter logs are warming still those few cold nights that remain.
