A few days in the North Yorkshire town of Settle, the place of my upbringing, coincided with a spell of weather warmer than the seasonal average. The accompanying blue skies lit the landscape well and also made the hawthorn berries stand out much more than usual. It seems to be a particularly good year for these "haws" and that probably speaks of a favourable spring that enabled more blossom to produce berries than is normally the case. This pair, near the hamlet of Feizor, were particularly eye-catching.
