Oh how nice it is to walk my dog in the sun without rain hammering down on my head! Today Jasmine and I went over the fields, something we haven’t done in months for fear of drowning in mud. Not a pleasant way to go.

Initially there was a chill in the air but, like always, I soon warmed up. Before we reached the fields I was thrilled to see a line of blossom trees, both baby pink and a darker, rich cherry shade. Blossom trees always remind me of primary school, as they often grew on the playground and I used to throw the fallen petals in the air like confetti.

Once we reached the fields, I noticed they were in fact so dry that the ground was cracked, and I got an interesting texture shot with the tyre tracks imprinted in the earth.

We walked around the perimeter of both farm fields before it started to spot with rain (I enjoyed the good weather while it lasted) but luckily we just got home before the heavens opened again.
