Snowdrops and Cerney House Gardens

So many beautiful Snowdrops. Perfect day with the dabbled sunshine shining through.

Take your own piece of the magic home.

I love the light as it bounces off the lights of leaves.

The Hellaboures look so pretty.

They have an indoor area that sells such lovely plants and plant pots and vases.

When I walked around I used the Merlin app to listen to the birds and incredibly heard all these over a short space of time.

Malvern 6 mile hike

Had a much needed long walk today on Malvern hill.

The weather was a tropical three degrees, so the hat was off, then on depending on how steep the climb was!

Considering the weather and low visibility in the distance the hill was still very busy with other walkers of all ages.

Here’s my images for the day, culminating in the Strava reading showing the 10k goal reached.

First trip of the year to Slimbridge

Around Slimbridge are amazing Lego sculptures.

Unfortunately it was overcast day, but still love to get out in nature.

There is always beauty to be seen with nature and the constant that new life of flowers will always come up.

The first Snowdrops is always lovely to see.

I love the contrast of the delicate colours of the grasses against the backdrop.

The previous days prior to my visit had been very cold weather and their were so many pretty water droplets.

Dotted around the wetlands are various ponds that you can see nature up close. It was lovely to see the ice on top of the ponds.

During the winter there are areas that you can see garden birds up close with bird feeders nearby which is great for pictures.

There are many variety of birds at Slimbridge which always great to see.

After my walk around Slimbridge I walked up to the canal which is always lovely place to walk and made more special by the sunset.

Trip to Brean

I love visiting Brean Down, being landlocked where I live it's great to visit somewhere coastal. Where you can hear the sea and look out across the channel over to Wales and see the big tankers coming into the Bristol channel.

So here are so pictures from the day.
