First cowslips of 2012

Thought I'd quickly post this fragment of film. It was shot an hour or so ago (12noon-ish on Sunday April 1st 2012) and shows the first cowslips I've seen this year - growing in a field near Lambley.


The few blooms that have appeared look a little sorry for themselves in truth, because although we've had some lovely warm weather over the past week or so, the nights are again quite cold - and there was a widespread frost when I went out with the dogs this morning (at 6am).
