The swallows are back


The swallows are back in Tarset! The barn swallows nest around here and swoop overhead. They are the season callers. When they arrive it IS spring here in the north and when they depart it IS autumn. I would be honoured if a swallow family chose a Sheep Cottage location to nest. Svala in Swedish. Hirondelles in French. Such lovely sounding words, like the birds.
