March 2011



The trees are still bare and the lansdscape is distinctly chilly and ghostly. And the wildlife is very quiet indeed.

By the month end, there were brighter days. When the sun shone, the shadows of the afternoon were long and dark and, out of the feeble heat of early March sunshine, you needed to keep moving briskly. Gloves were dispensed with but a hat was still needed. The early new farm life was clearly and noisily evident as the month progressed and the parkland below Archer's Gate was soon filling with the new season's lambs.

The Parkland is always stark and clearly defined at this time of year, but it reflects that the time of year is early and not yet warm and green as it will become in April
