The warmest day of the year so far at 23.5C. It was cloudless all day, a T-shirt and shorts day. We were up early to clean the church and then home for soup making - leek and potato - ready for Brian and Heather coming for lunch. Hunger satisfied, we set out for a walk around the 'Local Patch' birding and looking for butterflies. The ladies made it a short walk but I took Brian around the woodland burial ground and then through the fence and over Gooseman's Drain for a lap of the Horsefield. "I hadn't expected an expedition!", quoth The Historian. It was a beautiful day with just a gentle breeze. Finally some butterflies were out and about: small white, speckled wood, peacock, orange tip and comma. The primroses are looking magnificent, it seems to be a wonderful year for them. The first bluebells are also just appearing. An excellent walk.
