“Wild hyacinths (or bluebells) are blue underfoot, looking like patches of reflected sky. By this time the nightingale should be singing, and most of the migrant birds are here making their nests”. “What to Look for in Spring” Ladybird
Spring (like all seasons) has a real mix of weather conditions - which probably needs to be embraced! I think being in the woods in the rain in spring is quite a wonderful experience, there’s something soothing, fresh and life-affirming about it. When working with children outside it
brings a different view-point to the weather and the seasons; I’m inspired by the things children find a delight in. Jumping in puddles,
collecting raindrops, catching falling petals as snow, daisy-chains, gathering dandelions to study, watching water-beetles… It often feels such a real privilege to share journeys through the seasons with children and sometimes it can be a totally different take on things to that shown by some
adults.
