There's still a few patches of snow in Northumberland as these photos of The Cheviot and Hedgehope show. YC took these today when he ran up Hedgehope from the Ingram Valley via Linhope Spout and returned via Dunmoor Hill. But it would seem that summer is upon us (possibly). The proof? YC saw not one, but two, swallows on Saturday at Boulmer perched on a telegraph wire.
For those who are glad at the arrival of summer, here is a joke courtesy of Matthew Duff to send you on your way rejoicing.
Qu: what's got four wheels and flies?
Ans: a garbage truck.
Ho ho.
