Trying to find a suitable place in a field near Perryfoot Farm to 'spend a penny' before a caving trip into P8, I found a sheltered corner (with a great view of the road!) where a hawthorn branch barely two feet off the floor was just beginning to sprout. This seems very early to me. A sign of global warming? Or just a very sunny, sheltered spot? I haven't seen any anywhere else, so maybe the latter.
