It's very hard to think of another country with more beautiful summer

Amazing the difference just over a week makes. A week and a half ago in the Dales there was nothing much apart from celandines, wood anemones and primroses. Now it's beginning to look like the beginning of summer - meadow saxifrage, early purple orchids, bluebells, wood geranium. Still primroses, though.
