The signs of springtime

adminkeeleyMarch 29, 2022Comments are off for this post

The dull, grey and colourless months of Winter are slowly drawing to a close, We can finally start to think about that welcome summer warmth. The glories of Springtime are some of the first signs that the new year is beginning to awaken. What are the telltale signs that show the new season of spring is finally here?

The first thing that you’ll notice is the appearance of our native woodland flowers. The earliest sign of springtime on its way is the glory of the snowdrops. Appearing earlier and earlier due to climate change, the first glimpses of these striking white flowers herald the first flush of the season’s change.

Hot on the heels of the snowdrops has to be the appearance of bluebells. These make a colourful carpet of our woodland areas and this hardy and beautiful plant is a welcome burst of colour. A woodland walk is made that much more special by their presence.

Another great Spring favourite is the Daffodil. A welcome source of early pollen for bees, the Daffodil is synonymous with the Patron Saint of Wales, David. David’s day is the first of March, the start of the meteorological spring, and just as it celebrates Wales, it also seems to celebrate the promise of spring.

Lambs in the field, frolicking in the midday sun, is a source of great joy and amusement. These animals seem to embody the fun and sense of newness that this time of year brings to us all. They are not alone. All over the land, calves are being born, along with fowls and duckings. All the potential and the sense of anticipation that the Spring brings is captured in the farmyard.

In our religious festivals, Easter is a big celebration. It shows the sense of rebirth and hopes now that the dark days of winter are well behind us. A more modern and less natural approach is the appearance of Easter eggs and garden furniture starting to make an appearance on our supermarket shelves.

Finally, there is no greater sight than the sound coming of the incoming Swallow and House Martin. These plucky little birds have come all the way from Morocco and the African North Coast. They enjoy nothing better than skimming the tops of fields and lawns picking up bugs and insects for a good feed.

11. Your Legal Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

We do not knowingly collect data relating to children.

No fee usually required You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
