I began my walk by going through the cemetery which is now not open until 12.00 noon. The primroses were still looking good as I followed my usual route around the edge and then around the outside of the woodland burial ground. I enjoy this section. Attractive and often productive, especially in the summer when it attracts large numbers of butterflies and dragonflies. I have also found early chiffchaff and willow warbler here and I have seen evidence of deer and live in hope of seeing/photographing the animals themselves. Sadly when I reached the gate out into the Horsefield I found it chained and locked and I am certain that this is just down to bloody-mindedness rather than the coronavirus. Undaunted I continued through the crematorium grounds and along the footpath by the side of the allotments to reach the Horsefield that way. Here brambles were coming into leaf, a reminder that spring is here, despite the chilly weather. After exploring the Horsefield I made may way home via Edge Avenue round the corner from home.
