I just keep returning to this post so that my breath can be taken when my eyes land on the buttercup.

A spring symphony sounds smashing! I haven’t yet heard a cuckoo this year, but it surely won’t be long. The chirping chatter of the blackbirds here always makes me smile, but this weekend I’ll add bleating lambs to the percussion section! 😂

Your symphony stuns me into silence every time Susie. Please please please publish a book with all your music someday. I will listen to it for the rest of my days.

Both your symphony here Susie, and David's a couple days ago, are music for the soul.

It's all about the gold here right now and whilst I would love to sprinkle your symphony with golden autumn leaves I have a strong sense that you need to be left to dance in the buds and blossoms. xx

What a fantastic way to start the day, an orchestral parade of sunlit delights! I feel inspired, so will have to join in, cautiously humming, at first.

No cuckoo here yet either, our dominant sound is the Iberian green woodpecker.

Your welcoming of spring is a celebration in itself.

Oh how wonderful Susie, I have not heard a cuckoo but I saw a swallow on my walk down the lane yesterday and I was delighted. I am lying in bed this morning listening to the birds singing and reading your letter. So wonderful. My Music of March perhaps, could join the orchestra 🤍💚
