Harbinger

These chaps have been out and about in the unseasonably warm weather. This poor blighter had managed to get stuck in a big plastic tub.

Saw martins wheeling above the confluence of the Arno and Sieve.

Pruned the last big olive, cherries and two scraggly sugar maples some optimist planted before our time.

Started sweeping the builders’ dust out of the house as a brisk breeze had picked up after the fitful Dennis-cold-front rain.
