Listening to the First Heartbeat of Spring: Imbolc on the Land

As Imbolc arrives, the South West begins its slow, shimmering shift toward spring. Out on the land — even with Somerset still holding the memory of floodwater — there’s a quiet magic in the air: snowdrops nodding beside stone walls, skylarks testing their voices, and the soft click of a prism finding its laser again. Surveying at this time of year becomes an act of listening, of noticing the earth’s first whisper of renewal.
