From the middle of March onwards.

The longer days and the increase in sunlight, that heats the land.

It heats the soil.

So the land is a little bit hotter.

But then the air, that Atlantic air is cold and fucking wet.

And this just creates instability, chaos.

That hot air meets the cold, wet air and you've got chaos.

But in Ireland we have a story for this.

A piece of folklore.

Called na leithanta na bóri a fí.

The days of the brindled cow.

So the first ten days of April are the days of the brindled cow.

And this is an

old old story and my ma used to say it to me as a child when it came to April 1st or 2nd or 3rd and it's sunny outside she'd go don't go out without your jacket it's the days of the brindle cow it could rain out of nowhere never trust the first 10 days of April now I'm fascinated with any piece of folklore which addresses the predictability of seasonal behaviour like Halloween is one of them

Halloween night the kylok the winter the winter goddess or the hag emerges from a cave and strips the land bare and that's the Halloween night story and it's really about the emergence of winter it's very beneficial to to a population who don't have writing you don't have fucking writing and the system of writing you need to hold your stories in oral culture and then the landscape and the weather systems and the cycle of time becomes the book that you read from and these stories have

held true for thousands of years but we're the first generation living in climate collapse we are the first generation of people to experience climate collapse so every year I like to watch the stories the folklore that I know are thousands of years old and see if do they still hold true and each year the first 10 days of April that is held true it's the story of the old Brindle Clough I tell it every year at this time

I'll tell you a simplified version.

There's a herd of cows in a field.

They're brindled cows.

It's a pattern.
