Snowdrops!

As the sun was shining bright, we thought we'd be good and go for a walk. Every year, I want to head over to Welford Park to see the snowdrops, but never seem to make it. Well guess what - this year we did!

With all the rain, it was pretty muddy in places but we put on our walking boots and went out for a stomp. The woods were carpetted in snowdrops and certainly lived up to their name.

The rivers through the estate were pretty fast flowing and if the rain keeps up, some of the paths will be flooded. People of all ages were able to get around fairly easily (even one lady in a wheelchair ... with two men pushing her). Sensible footwear was the order of the day though. Quite a few turned up in normal everyday shoes and a couple of teenagers in white trousers and shoes. They weren't going to stay that way for long.

First Snowman

Woke up this morning, pulled back the curtains and we have SNOW. It's the first proper snowfall we've had for abt 10 years ... and Callum got to build his first snowman (or rather mummy built it for him). Callum was distintinctly unimpressed when I dragged him out into the garden.

He's not used to walking in wellies so not sure whether it was strange things on his feet, the huge waterproof all-in-one I put him in or the fact it was cold and wanted to be inside with his toys! Anyway, snowman built, photos taken and now back inside in the warm.

My Camelia is in flower too and covered in snow, so that'll be the last of the flowers for this season!
