There was quite a frost earlier this morning but when I got back in the car this afternoon, in North Berwick, it was registering 16 degrees C! I think, once moving, the temperature was more like 13. Either way, it was a really beautiful day - the best of the year so far! The dogs and I found a new walk today, with great views - north, south, east and west.
Once the hawthorn has grown and matured it will be as big and spready as the single plant below. That will take some decades though! These hedges will have been around for generations, but as least there are some youngsters coming along behind now. Delighted to see the farmer cares enough to replenish the hedgerow. Not enough of them do.
It was warm enough today for the flowers on the gorse bushes to have that delicious spicy coconut smell! Happy day.
I was pleased to see that they are mending holes in the hedge with new planting. The hedging along the lane was all hawthorn and I expect that's what they have planted in the all the gaps, as you can in this photo.
