Snowdrops

In between the grey, misty, foggy and rainy days, there is the odd warm and sunny - or at least dry - day. Snowdrops are out in force. My friend and I were keen to seek them out. We even had a trip planned to far-away Dudmaston Estate in Shropshire, which we then cancelled because it was such a grey day. Thus we were very pleased when we spotted these on our ramble with the Arrow Valley Countryside Group.

At Great Alne Church, Warwickshire

For a veritable carpet of snowdrops I was advised to visit St. Leonard's in Beoley, Worcesterhire, which I did on a sunny day, a week later:

A place worthwhile visiting at the end of February! After this view I collected all my snowdrops in my garden into a single spot. Let's see whether I can turn them into a carpet.
