One swallow does not a summer make...

... but two seen at the end of our lane last night confirm that spring is well and truly here.

As the weather has been so warm, and consequently lots of insects are about, I assumed that the swallows would appear earlier than usual. But of course, swallows are unable to use the internet, so back home in Africa they probably didn't know!

I saw this photo taken recently of swallows in Devon.

I can well believe that - sitting outside yesterday drinking my afternoon tea, it was more like June than April. Could do with some rain to make the grass grow, though!
