Cheery

I get up in the small hours to check the computer and find out what's going on in the world. Common sense seems to have won out.

With winter gone and the sun out the wee town is looking particularly cheerful. 

This is in some large part due to the university gardeners and their zest for vibrant colour. The flower beds outside the dorms are particularly memorable.

This is the first day that its comfortable being out without a coat. Most of the dog owners are enjoying this change in the weather. 

From its position on top of a strand of marram grass a reed bunting observes the golfers on the 4th tee. All four of the players have managed to avoid the fairways and play into the rough. The reed bunting watches them scramble around in the gorse.

Next to the 5th tee something blue is coming into bloom.

Summer, or a Scottish approximation of it, is on the way. Life away from the internet is grand.
