It's early morning but already the sun is hot so I've shifted myself and my table into the dappled shade of the willows to write. Above me the House Martins are on the wing, darting in and out of their nests in the eaves to feed their hungry broods. I can hear children up on the hill laughing and squealing with delight.

It's because of all that rainfall that we can be grateful for the lush growth we have in Northern Ireland during this month. The greens are a young, chartreuse and hopeful.
