Swindale

A glorious short little wander into Swindale today - always a fav. Everywhere colour was bursting forth - the hillsides are a swathe of yellow as the gorse blooms, the treetops are vibrant with blossom and emerging leaves and the woodland floor carpeted with sparkling celledines.

But as we peeked into the farmers meadows this pair of cuties stole todays blip - Spring has most definitely sprung and a lamb blip seemed in order.

In other news - I dont qualify to be the parliamentary candidate by 18days - it would seem that for the LibDems at least, extraordinary times don't call for extraordinary measures. I'm relieved, disappointed and annoyed in equal measure. Instead we'll field a reluctant former candidate who doesn't do social media or even mobile phones and succesfully halved our vote last time. Hardly likely to engage new voters.
