"Down the Lane" in March


"I saw the March hare racing
Trying to catch the breeze
And a clutch of speckled eggs
Cradled in ivy leaves."

extract from my book "Down the Lane"

We saw lots of hares doing exactly this last year in Scotland, I have to confess that I haven't seen any this year around these parts. There are however, hundreds of baby bunnies, a few primroses, daffodils and even a few bumblebees which is nice because without the bees there will be no flowers, or apples or pears, or beans...... sorry to be droning on.
