May river

The hawthorn and cow parsley are finally in full bloom, and all the trees are now in leaf, but it still feels like winter. Heavy rain for most of the morning cleared to showers after lunch. By early evening the skies were clear, but a chilly north-westerly breeze meant that I still needed a jumper and coat on! The old phrase 'ne'er cast a clout till May is out' certainly seems to be true this year.
