March Roundup

I love Hares, probably because they are quite rare here in the north of England. I have been fascinated by the abundance of them in the fields down south. I love the imagery and stories that accompany them so I was pleased to be able to include one here, during its own symbolic month of March.

Onward, to my reading life during the month of the March Hare...
