By contrast, Ian, everything here is almost 'unnaturally' green. I
don't remember the foliage looking so verdant at this time of the year
and the wild flowers are superb.


Same here on Dartmoor Alan. It really has been a fantastic early summer spell.
Wild flowers galore with wonderful fresh smells. The garden plants are also
thriving, the only downside is that the grass just will not slow down growing.
It was cut yesterday and for a brief time it took on a pale green summery tinge,
but now after last night's storm you can almost hear it growing. Ah well, I
wouldn't want it any other way really. Completely overcast and dry now but the
sun will be back tomorrow.

Will.
