Squirrels

A warm sunny Monday and more of the same promised for the rest of the week makes me hope the Spring weather has arrived, and my stroll to work through Darlington’s South Park took in wonderful displays of crocus under the trees, still bare, but budding and in some cases blossoming; also well in evidence were the squirrels, out of hibernation and busy along the riverbank, looking cute which shows the marketing value of a fluffy tail that is all that distinguishes them from the reviled rats.
