April is a funny month when it comes to weather here on Anglesey.
On the one hand there are daffodils blooming, birds singing and lambs in the fields. Yet it is still really quite cold. There is still snow on the mountains and frost on some mornings.
Today (14th April) is an important date for us here at our house as it is the day that the swallows return to our outbuildings to nest. Yes, they return on exactly the same date pretty much every year. Having flown the thousands of miles from Africa, it is amazing that they can make it here on the same day year on year.
But this year it was not to be.....no swallows (yet).
It must be the cold weather that has made them slow down. Perhaps they're still sunbathing in France! I suspect that we will see them over the coming days as I think the temperatures are set to rise. At least I hope so!
I'll be looking out for them as they symbolise warm and sunny weather for us.
Wow...really? That's beautiful. Come to think of it that they make it on same date for some time now but this year they couldn't make it on the sae April 14th. Thanks for sharing because I now know something new

Yeah it is bonkers. We've been here 8 years and this is only the second time they haven't rocked up on the 14th!
Haha, yes another week by the pool!

Wow...the second time in 8years??
Then i guess you need to keep this other date of their arrival. So you have April 14th for their normal arrival and the other date for their late arrival date. Lol
