17th February, 2013

A lovely sunny day- 9 degrees but with a biting wind. It was very busy down here at lunchtime, with many people having their lunch at the Abbey Mill Cafe. Frankie had an ice cream to celebrate the return of the sunny weather- and his return to school tomorrow!

 

 

We had a bit of a tour of the fields towards Yarlside today. Bow Bridge is looking picturesque but the farm fields are still heavily flooded. Hope it all dries out a bit before Mr. Hillman brings one of his bridal couples down here in a few weeks time-or they will have to tie carrier bags around their wedding shoes!

 

 

 

 

We spotted this little bunch of snowdrops growing in amongst the dead brambles right at the waters edge. And the rhodedendrons are doing well up in Abbots Wood. Our first wild daffodil isn't quite ready yet, but this time next week....

 

 

Back to work tomorrow....!
