    It's been a sunny day so I went for a little drive and took a few photos :-

    Lots of fields around Nantgaredig are still under water ! I couldn't take photos, you can't stop on the A40, it's too dangerous.

    Snowdrops flowering in the hedgerows ...

      Away at the moment thanks for posting your pics of back home especially the Snowdrops, me I only have a small patch of them in a very old stone planter out my back garden, @Michael Hewett

        I've got some clumps in the garden too @Valleysgirl :smile: but they are always slower than the wild ones.

        I have a few snowdrops in my garden but they are all on their own, i.e. not in a clump. No idea why, as I'm sure that I planted them in a clump.

        1) They had a row (families!)
        2) The kids moved out.

          My first visit this year to Ness Botanic Gardens today. Lots of spring interest including snowdrops and Hellebores with scents from Hammamelis and Daphne.
