May 25th – So many new flowers to notice every day, and in the warm sun of this perfect early morning, bright yellow coltsfoot was showing wonderfully well by the roadsides and in the hedgerows.
Such a beautiful, summery weed. Absolutely gorgeous.

March 6th – And elsewhere too, on the canal, signs of spring. At Walsall Wood bridge, butties are being loaded from a temporary, rough wharf from a derelict factory yard, ready to supply earth to a worksite near Catshill Junction. Growing from the brickwork canalside nearby, beautiful coltsfoot flowers in abundance, almost hidden from view.
At the new pond in Clayhanger, the scrub and copse still looks barren, but there’s a sense of anticipation, almost as if nature is waiting for the starting gun.
