Snowdrops at Launde Abbey

On what has become our annual pilgrimage to see snowdrops, 
it somehow seemed appropriate this year to go to Launde Abbey 
(the promise of a cream tea after the walk included in the entrance price
might have had something to do with the choice).
 It was our warmest ever snowdrop walk
 OK, so we have probably seen more snowdrops on previous visits...
 ...but the mummy is still building up her (walking) range.
This is my attempt at an 'arty' shot with the new camera

Snow Feb 2012

 A snow-capped pebble
 The first toboggan after the night's snowfall
 Everything is whited out...
 ... well not quite ...
 ... there are still some flashes of colour
... and a special treat for the birdwatcher - a party of fieldfare
