Whither spring?

Under slate grey skies for the past week, hardly a day goes by without rain, time to recall just how exceptional March was. When will we see weather like it again?

Photographs taken recently around 'Battlefield', beginning near my home overlooking the Ouseburn at Jesmond Vale and winding through the site and finishing up next to the work camp for the restoration of the East Coast Mainline Bridge at Byker.

Note blackened grass: A sign of just how relaxing our early, early spring weather was, a burnt patch left by a disposable barbecue!
