Karen, your new spreading looks fine. Perhaps when loading the wheelbarrow, separate any less decomposed lumps to use elsewhere or to compost some more, spread only the finest.
Especially in spring when as you say its either sticky, or quickly hard. In winter-spreading it would not be a problem as by spring the weather has made it soft.
In this case I would spread 2-3cm fine compost on top if you have some, should you wish to plant soon. But for summer plantings of leek or courgette it looks ok.
Those brandlings are bountiful, the cow manure especially looks fantastic.
