Our Meet on 24th February 2019 was productive, with the trolley experts in action again hauling up a long abandoned one from a less accessible location on the bank. After a cool start the day warmed up and it became quite hot in the sun although the landscape was a winter one, with few indications of spring. Just as well, as we are expecting another visit from the Beast from the East which took everyone by surprise in March last year.

Hazel catkins on mature trees have been brightening the riverside here on the Arun for weeks now. They vary but grow equally well on trees old and young (see previous post) and there were a few more signs of spring today with Willow catkins appearing fast and an extending clump of snowdrops on a bank, close to the Arun:
Flourishing on the steep bank just above water, these are really winter flowers. There hasn't been any significant snow so far this winter but there's still time…
