This weekend my twin sister Ann & I planned to visit Belsay Hall gardens to see their snowdrops. All last week was frosty in the morning and bright through the day, so I was a little dismayed to wake up on Saturday to overcast dreary dampness. We looked at the forecast and decided to wait and go on Sunday instead. Good decision!
We had a wonderful morning walking through the gardens, not many perennials poking through yet, and no buds on the trees, but the snowdrops were at their peak. All the flowers are a little late this year after the worst winter we've had for 30 years.
Here are some of the woodland drifts.
