Yesterday, a sunny early morning walk between banks of frothy cow parsley along the River Cam at Bottisham Lock. Cow parsley Anrhriscus sylvestris: umbrels announcing spring today and summer tomorrow; the scent of flowers and crushed stalks redolent of secret childhood places. Swallows; a common tern on stiff pointed wings; blackcap and whitethroat singing.
