Beltane is, for me, a season, which started last week when the earth warmed up, the hawthorn came out and the house martins returned. The cuckoo is singing in the wood, the swallows are hunting in the horse paddocks, the bluebells are in full force and the bucks are about to drop their antlers. It’s Beltane here in Suffolk!

And so, with that, I’d like to wish each and every one of you a blessed Beltane season.
