As we near spring each year I hear the newly born lambs
bleating in the nearby fields and I also feel an urge to paint hares, who often
box rather like a duel for their mating rights. I first came across them in profusion
on the Hebridean island of Tyree when we took my Mother there to celebrate her
90th birthday. She had lived there for a year with my Father who was in the RAF
and flew out over the Atlantic to gather the incoming weather reports for the
Met Office.
