It’s been a dreary, rain-soaked day, and the hazel catkins are looking bedraggled. So prolific with their pollen, released in a great golden cloud which must find its way upon the wind to the tiny, pink female flowers. It’s neither particularly sophisticated, nor the most romantic form of courtship for a tree that likes to get it on so close to Valentine’s Day, but it seems to get the job done; cobnuts being produced in such great abundance in Kent, a part of the country also known for its singularly portly, well-fed squirrels. But there’ll be precious little of that malarkey today. It’s too wet to waft.
