Whilst on a shopping trip to Romsey we had a walk around the memorial park - well when I say round it I mean we walked halfway round it and had to back track as the path was underwater and impassable unless you were fortunate enought to be wearing epic wellies, which I was not. Even the flower beds contained big pools of water after last nights rain. The ducks seemed happy enough - but maybe not that happy as we hadn't come bearing bread!
We walked back through the gardens of King John's House www.kingjohnshouse.org.uk/
where the snowdrops were beginning to come out - my absolutely favourite flowers. Spring is on the way - but I have to say I prefer winter! Please note even the snowdrops are dripping with rain in the photo below.
I have planted snowdrops in our little bit of front garden over the years and I'm sure they should be spreading and increasing in number but this year I have one single flower - one!!!! Well actually I did notice a couple more on the move but it's hardly a grand display. Never mind, I'll have to make do with going to see drifts of snowdrops elsewhere.
