Spring in my step

Hooray! So yesterday was the first day in the three weeks I have been working up in the peak district that I took my coat off. Finally a bit of sunshine to squint in. My freckles came out, the daffodils have come out, the pheasants (I keep mixing up the word pheasants with peasants which is often quite silly) were chasing each other all over the garden, two cows were humping ungracefully in the opposite field, the stunt horse's ridiculously large dingdong kept coming out too much to the amusement of the crew and bemusement of it's rider! What I don't quite understand is why when every other animal is feeling fruity, the fluffy baby lambs are already up and about bouncing around the fields already... Do sheep get the 'time to make babies' memo earlier than everyone else? Anyway, I'm not doing a great job of conjuring up the prettiest picture but indeed it was a very pretty day and I was in heaven once more. On a day like that in the soft warm sunny rays there is no finer place to be than out in the countryside breathing in some fresh air and basking in some silence. We were filming outside in the fields on an old crumbly stone bridge, wide enough for one and only just arched enough to let the river trickle through. Despite 90% of the crew hailing from London I think every single person was happy to be right where they were away from the city and lying in the long grass pretending to work :) man I love the spring. I have brought my sunnies with me to set today but in typical English fashion it seems it was just wishful thinking. Until next year...
