Are these the first daffodils to open on Wirral this spring? This photograph was taken on Saturday in Gilroy Nature Reserve, which is an often overlooked beauty spot offering a lake, wild flower meadow and a woodland walk leading onto a public footpath which begins on Gilroy Road and goes round the lake then through the golf course to the dairy farm at Hoylake.
Bird-spotters will find lapwings, sky larks, sparrow hawks, gold finches, wrens, robins, red shanks plus a shifting population water fowl.
If you are in Chester over the next few days, drop into St Werburg's Cathedral where there is an interesting exhibition of tapestry made by Quakers. Each tapestry charts an aspect of the history of the Quakers and their contribution to social change. The amount of painstaking work which has gone into each piece is admirable.
Monday 25th sees me return to Golborne High School in Lancashire, where I was once a pupil. I'll be reading Seagull Inn, my ghost story set on Hilbre Island, which features in an anthology called Ruins Terra. After this, pupils will be invited to ask questions about writing fiction and the publishing industry.
I'm looking forward to seeing how my old school looks now. When I was a pupil there, there was one computer for the entire school. That would be unthinkable now, of course. When my eighty years-old mother was at school in Knutsford, all the pupils wrote on slate with a piece of chalk. How times change, hmm?
