It just seems to be one of those years, fruit blossom has been prolific
(particularly apple), the dandelions have flowered like a sea of yellow
(in quite distinct limited areas however),after the dandelion clocks
have appeared we now have similar sea-of-yellow areas of buttercups and
the Queen Anne's Lace (Cow Parsley) is making many verges whiter than
they ever are except in winter.
