Soaking up the rays

The sun appeared today so I had a quick stroll after lunch (to wake myself up!). The Meadows had lots of people lying in the sun getting a vitamin D fix. It's really quite nice when you're in the sunlight - but I was here in the shade, and still needed my hat, scarf and gloves!

At last we're starting to see a few tentative buds on the trees. Was it this late last year?
