We have had a couple of beautiful sunny and dry days and the daffodils and blossom on the trees are looking really lovely. The water level on the pond has dropped because we have had no rain for over a week and we stared in to look for the frogspawn, which we couldn't find at all. Hopefully Mr and Mrs Duck haven't gobbled it up. Here are the photos that Kizzie took last week - the long strings of eggs are the toadspawn.
Most of my Lady Friends are laying eggs now and Dad goes round each night with a tray collecting them up and on some, writing code on one end. We watch him to see if he discovers all the ones we have hidden.
Just a quick word about Lent, too. I think we've been diddled - it is still 27 days to go before Easter Sunday and I have not had a sip of Quail Ale for 19 days. What happened to 40 Days and 40 Nights? I might be sounding more and more like a Grumpy Old Cock, but what with the Spring Equinox and now Lent, I think someone has got the dates wrong this year!
