spring

It may feel colder than a witch’s tit* but nature is showing signs that the green fuse is well and truly lit.

Here’s some pictures of springish behaviour I took yesterday. Send yours in to images@the-riotact.com with the subject line “spring”.

* Any witches in our readership wanting to help refute this ancient saying are invited to get in touch (for research purposes only).

But before long we’ll be complaining that it’s ‘”hotter than the hinges of hell”

Colder than a Skywhale’s tit did you say?

Oooh! Someone’s feeling a bit litterary!!

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
Is my destroyer.
And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.

The force that drives the water through the rocks
Drives my red blood; that dries the mouthing streams
Turns mine to wax.
And I am dumb to mouth unto my veins
How at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.

The hand that whirls the water in the pool
Stirs the quicksand; that ropes the blowing wind
Hauls my shroud sail.
And I am dumb to tell the hanging man
How of my clay is made the hangman’s lime.

The lips of time leech to the fountain head;
Love drips and gathers, but the fallen blood
Shall calm her sores.
And I am dumb to tell a weather’s wind
How time has ticked a heaven round the stars.
And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb
How at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.

The wonderful Dylan Thomas, ( a distant relative of mine)

I’m off for a couplse of days, will try and get soem snaps shot.
