Snowdrops Were Why We Were at Welford

I previously posted about the grounds at Welford Park and, as I noted in that post, our reason for being there was the snowdrops. Today I am continuing my excessive posting about snowdrops, and I promise that this will be the last snowdrop post for this year – probably. I was worried that the flowers might have already peaked before we got there but I needn’t have worried. The woodlands were still carpeted with the white blooms. Here are some images that I got as we strolled around.

Snowdrops Alongside My Ride

The weather has not been great for cycling during the winter with it being wet. I have ended up riding the trainer indoors to try and keep in some shape. I did get one Sunday when it wasn’t raining but looked like it might. I decided to head out irrespective of the chance of it getting damp. I got lucky and, while it did drizzle occasionally, it was actually pretty dry. As I rode through the country lanes, there were loads of snowdrops along the side of the road and in the trees just off the road. I mostly rode on by but did stop on a couple of occasions to take some photos. Here they are.
