March In Paxton And The Borders


Well, March 2020 was a month dominated by global pandemic news with little respite - no sport or entertainment or anything like that to lift the spirits. However, one thing that was beautifully unaffected by all this, thankfully, has been nature. 

In the midst of all this spring has arrived with some gloriously sunny days, birdsong, crocuses, daffodils and the first colouring of tulip heads. Blossom is here and the lawn has had its first mowing. Birds are busy nesting and, ironically, there have so many lovely days when everything in the world has seemed perfect. The end of the month has seen some lovely sunny days.

In dark days, the beauty of nature can be such a comfort.
