Field of yellow taken from the train somewhere in West Lothian.

Sneezes start this month when I go into the country and am surrounded by this damn stuff. It looks quite pretty, but causes so much hassle for those with sensitive little nasal passages.

Although much touted by healthy eaters as an equivalent to olive oil, I am so annoyed by it I simply refuse to buy the processed oil.

Other yellow is gentler on the eye and on the nose at this time in the countryside. Whenever I see broom flowering in spring I’m reminded of this song:
