Spring is here!

My ISP is playing up. Tiscali is on a go slow and the telephone lines have transformed themselves into "wet pieces of string". The up shot of all this is that I can't connect for very long and it takes an age for web pages to load. Apart from that and the fact that the computer decided to throw a wobbly this morning, the sun is shining, I heard the first Nightingale the day before yesterday, and the first Cuckoo too. Hoopoe's are yet to make an appearance. Spring has definitely sprung and the quilt has been put on the back burner. Will add more later.
