2nd March, 2013...Spring finally arriving at Furness Abbey!

It seems ages since we got down here for a walk...we get so tied up with work and life!! It was a mild 9 degrees here at lunch time, with a definate feel of Spring in the air!
 
 
The daffodil that we have been monitoring at the railway crossing has obviously opened in the last week or so, but the head was hanging off...what a shame. But we did see these patches of crocuses on the walk down, near Manor Farm.
 
 
 
There was a fight in the bushes between a blackbird with a lump of fat from the bird table, and a blue jay, determined to have it! We caught the tail end of it, with the jay hiding in the trees, ready to pounce!
The big wall of daffodils is not quite ready to open yet.
It looks like Abbey House has laid some new pathways since we were down here last, and there is a mysterious pile of limestone waiting outside Abbey Tavern. I wonder if someone has bought it finally...?
 
Our little friend was around, and following us today, but we hadn't brought any scraps down with us!!
