Spring - a new take on coq au vin



A few weeks ago it was the primroses and cowslips lower down the mountains, now the turn of the crocus. White, purple and violet carpets stretch across great swathes of newly uncovered mountain pasture.
The first swatch of colour to appear just after the snow has gone, even before the vivid greens of new grass, these flowers signal the end of winter and appear as the last dirty avalanches tumble off the mountains.


New life is everywhere and spring is in the air!

And this is the time for chicks too, this one is a day old and one of ten I hatched over the weekend.
A cross between a Sussex and a French Blanche (meat bird) soon it will be swimming in the wine!
