There is a buzz of excitement in the air in Nidderdale. Fueled by those lengthening days where we can embrace the light as Spring is gradually moving towards Summer and the landscapes are beginning to look truly green again.
The trees are heaving with new life as the blossom weighs their boughs and birds are patiently nesting. If you are lucky enough to spot them, you will see that the deer are also getting ready to have their young. The roadsides, hedgerows and woodland walks are scattered with bluebells, wild flowers and more butterflies than I have seen for a long time.
To add to the excitement is the great event that is the Tour De Yorkshire 2019 from the 2nd to the 5th of May.
