Spring greens

March winds are blowing, but slowly and surely green shoots are appearing and the world outside is starting to become technicolour again. There’s a fidgety freshness in the air. Our cat definitely has spring fever; dashing out into the wind to pounce on tiny insects before crashing forehead-first in through the catflap. Even the chickens have a spring in their step and and a perky look in their eyes.

I’ve been sketching frogs – these are inky black ones, but eventually they’ll be fresh green and yellow and emerald like the ones in my head.
