Inspired by | the swallow

This month’s ‘inspired by’ is all about a bird that reminds me of hazy summer days and long walks through fields. Watching swallows joyfully swooping through the air and almost skimming the tops of crops as they fly is something I’ll never tire of. I’m not sure if they are actually swallows or swifts, or even house martins, they move too darn fast but nevertheless they are a joy to watch. We saw some very similar birds while exploring on holiday in Menorca last week; they were flying around the cliff edge with amazing grace and speed, suggesting they shared our excitement at being carefree (for those few days!).
