Nothing of any consequence happened in Broughton today. Or, if it did, nobody bothered to tell the Spurtle about it.
Here, instead (right), is a photograph of some cherry blossom on Cumberland Street.
And immediately below, the first of the bluebells, tinkling to keep warm in the haar on the bank leading down from the laughably named Summer Bank.
Finally, at the foot of the page: thistles. Along with lions and fleurs de lys, they form part of the curious arts-and-crafts decoration of a tenement building on Eyre Terrace.
That is all. If something doesn't happen tomorrow, we quit.
