Spring, moon and martins

Our house martins returned yesterday, we'd seen a couple around but it was yesterday afternoon that three were flying up to the nests in the apex.  They're back again today.
I saw swifts on Saturday too, not in the village but on the way to Malton.  And the first lambs were in the village yesterday too, a couple of Reg's were on the green outside the shop and in Brereton's car park, they're not there today so they've obviously moved on. Spring is springing along as best it can.
The full moon over the weekend was a supermoon, amazing views but none of them photographed - don't know why we didn't, probably because it wasn't rising in a convenient place any way it was very remiss of us, should have at least tried.
It's being reported today that the weather over the weekend was on average colder than at Christmas! Today I think I can believe it, seventh of May and we're still lighting the stove in the mornings, complete madness.  We had some very hard frosts over the weekend, a few of gunnera's leaves have been scorched but too badly and I've lost a couple of strawberry plants but it's been so cold  everything is still in the greenhouse. However, I did get the sweet peas out into the fresh air this morning for the first time.   Only a few years ago I was listening to GQT about Chelsea preparations whilst planting up the tubs and sweltering in the sunshine, that's not likely to be happening this year.
