Spring has arrived: sort of! The lingering damp grey, at least in Wales, has made it a little harder to embrace the bluebells blanketing the woods, the lambs taking wobbling first steps in the fields, the hedgerows blushing with a myriad wildflower’s pinks, purples and whites. We need a bit of coaxing around now to get out exploring again in the way that later in the summer is second nature to us, so hopefully my three-page feature in the i Weekend paper (with a front-page mention, which is always wonderful, and an online version on the i news website) last Saturday does just that. There is an almighty selection featured here: I go down to Cornwall for some clifftop basking shark watching and up to Scotland’s Perthshire for beaver sightings and the Outer Hebrides for the first machair flowering of the year.
