Apologies for the delayed monthly report - I got distracted.
March was (almost) all about Oxfordshire again - but one of the bonuses on Oxford in March is that no two days are the same. There was plenty of weather around - from winter-gear days through to garden-furniture days - and there's the constant round of new emerging plants every day - from daffodils and snowdrops through to bluebells, snake's head fritillaries and (almost) orchids.

Location: Oxford (mostly)
Miles walked: 120
Miles driven: 600 (and half of that was on the last day of the month)
