What a strange walk today! In between the snow showers, I set off to look for early bluebells – and lo and behold, there were quite a lot in Middleton Woods. I always feel so optimistic when I see them, true heralds of better weather. But this really does seem early for them: the recent mild weather maybe fooled them into blooming so soon…..
It just seemed weird that soon after seeing them, it snowed again. Below is a photo from this morning, looking out of the window onto this Narnia-like winter scene:
And finally, walking through the park, there was some blossom out. Below is a photo from today, and below that, a view along the Grove in Ilkley the other day, with the beautiful blossom trees lining the road.
