I'm hoping to see loads of snowdrops tomorrow, they were all late coming up, in the meantime took a walk in the woods today and the sun and trees gave a lovely display of light and shadow.

The false Spring continues. This was the pathway at the back of the Manor, half an hour ago.

woody strange how some woods look the same

The one you took earlier looks similar to a wooded area near me.

Maybe because in the old days the 'landed gentry' would plant them according to a common plan?

the wood near me was once a Roman Camp as well as a traveller's site. It's a strange one though as there's barely any sign of life, spooky

The gardeners don't do much outside work from October to March. They're generally working in the Greenhouse Complex. Come spring, the team will soon whip everything into shape.

However I like large parts of the estate to grow wild, to encourage the wildlife!

went to some lord's manor grounds to look at the snowdrops today. Snowdrops are notoriously difficult to snap cos of their whiteness and smallness. As they're later this year a few crocuses got in on the act too. I do believe spring really is on the way now

Blue that's BA with the anorak on

A lot of snowdrops

There is a wood near us that is white like that in the summer, but its wild garlic and the smell

If you have vampire tendenties don't go there

Moonie ... It's not me and it's NOT my lands any of our fellow posters are on. For starters ... none of you are invited ... and if by
chance any of you DID make it on ... you'd soon learn how to run very fast ... courtesy of my dogs ... and the armed staff!
