Good time of year to walk Middlegate lane, high up the scarp slope above South Ferriby and Horkstow villages. Profusion of primroses in South Ferriby churchyard, especially in the older burial areas – this and Paull churchyard surely the best in Humberside for seeing spring flowering plants. Scattered small colonies of blue and white violets under the shelterbelt of young trees running parallel to Middlegate (see above), although these not as extensive as recent past, presumably violets get pushed-out quite easily by sturdier ground cover grasses and plants.
Panoramic view over Reeds Island shows what seems to be a slowing down of the erosion of the remnant island, probably due to the huge mudflat that has built-up along its north side and which must reduce the force of the waters at high tide.
Quarrying work on-going on a Sunday, very unusual, must be a surge in demand for cement, or maybe one of the other production sites has closed down for repairs, or whatever.
