It’s the school half term break this week so Toby and I are sat here at the moment watching Cbeebies together (teletubbies is still one of his absolute favourites). We’re still getting over the colds, which seem to be lingering on as sniffles and coughs, so we’ll be taking things slow and easy this week. On Sunday Toby went for a day of respite and, since it was a beautiful day and I was feeling the need for some fresh air, I bundled up in warm woollies and set off to the woods for some snowdrop spotting. We have a great choice of different woods carpeted with snowdrops but I think my favourite is in a tiny place called Westmill near Ware which has great clumps of them scattered throughout the wooded banks alongside a quarry.
It was a peaceful, quiet walk, the woods were full of birdsong and breezes and the dappled sunlight shone to spotlight the beauty of these delicate bell shaped flowers. I’m so grateful to have these small wonders on my doorstep and I came home again feeling calm and refreshed.
Hope you have a good week and that you get the chance to find some small, natural marvels near you. x

Beautiful photos again, Julie, always inspirational. Luckily my husband is bordering on obsessional when it comes to Spring flowers, so we now have many snowdrops under the trees, but always so wonderful to see them in natural woodland settings. Love your blog – as well as your knitting, of course! xxx

On my side of the world it is hot and humid and I think Autumn will never come. Your beautiful photos of snowdrops gave me hope that the weather is about to change, and it has. Thank goodness for the cooler nights.

Oh I just love all your photos!! The snowdrops are just beautiful. I don’t think they have those here in North Carolina but our daffodils are blooming. I’m so worried we will have a cold snap and ruin them! Thanks for sharing a bit of your world!
