I arrived at Anglesey Abbey a little early but the doors were already open. The faithful had come to revere the Snowdrop!
Normally Snowdrops mark the move towards Spring after a hard winter but this year its been mild (I do hope we aren't going to be punished).
Anyway Anglesey (which I do like, always something to see).
Ah Snowdrops....
Lunch was a large lump of chocolate cake and a pot of tea! Lovely and on offer at £3 ! Lovely!
Bird highlight ? A calling Great Spots and Long Tailed Tits (that were chasing each other!)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWow, an Iris in bloom???! Now that IS a surprise!
Oh to have a woodland of silverbirches like that. Lovely!
I love the snowdrop season, the year turns around once more. Funny to see A Abbey in this post, friend of mine volunteer gardens there 1dpw, we were just talking about it yesterday. Lovely CU's
ReplyDeleteThe snowdrops are wonderful. I can't believe all the colour you have there with the other flowers. Great pictures Pete.
ReplyDeleteLooks more like spring than late winter!!
ReplyDeleteThe 2 pink hellebores are luscious and the Mahonia is incredibly amazingly huge. The one I saw abloom today in Philadelphia was a shadow of yours and that was the only plant in blossom.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and what a treat to see so many flowers in bloom in January.
