I went for my cycle ride this morning, not wearing a cycle jacket for the first time this year. The tow path was busier than usual with walkers, joggers and cyclists.
I was very pleased to see all this blackthorn blossom, if this turns to fruit won't have to go to Epping Forest for my sloe gin this year!
I saw a male brimstone butterfly fluttering around this blackthorn.
Picked some rhubarb and had a small rhubarb crumble which was very nice. Even better as last year didn't have any due to the cold spring, and the year before the spring was so dry my one and only crumble was from thin, non juicy sticks of rhubarb.
I also picked some goose grass (cleavers) and made some tea. Virtually colourless and virtually tasteless, but supposed to be a good tonic!
