No sign

For many years I have been meaning to visit a local beauty spot which is famous for cowslips. Friends tell me stories of the field totally yellow, smothered with the beautiful little wild flowers. So after years of forgetting to go, today I made a special effort. The field is quite a way from the car park and as I walked through the woodland I was eagerly anticipating the spectacle. I couldn’t believe it when the famous field appeared, totally green. On closer inspection I could see a few tiny plants, here and there. Such a disappointment! Either I am too early or the cowslip crop has failed. I must make enquiries, and go back in a few weeks’ time.
Apart from the lack of cowslips I really enjoyed my walk and was particularly pleased to hear the birdsong in the woods. I don’t get out enough.
