The month of March has flown by and with it the arrival of spring.

While I am loving my role with the Heritage Foundation, I have also enjoyed a week off, cycling around Norfolk. Cycling is a good pace at which to view the rural landscape and witness nature. A highlight occurred during a break to fix a puncture: we were next to an arable field when suddenly a group of six hares rushed through and started running in all directions, celebrating the sheer joy of spring and the warmth of mid-morning sun.
