Snowdrops and oak leaves


More snowdrops are appearing each day, reminding us that hellebores, daffodils, crocuses and the rest will soon follow. The small white flowers appear undeterred by the cold January that has followed on from the equally cold December. This little group had forced themselves up through a thick layer of oak leaves that had eventually fallen after clinging on to the trees for a longer period than usual.
