Early Spring?

Following the recent "Storm Ciara" last weekend the weather hasn't improved much but today was a bit less windy, no rain but very dull.  I made the most of it and ventured out today as the UK is due another storm over this weekend, this one is "Storm Dennis".  Somehow, "Dennis" doesn't sound quite so lively, we'll see.

The Snowdrops were early this year, these are slightly passed their best.

A few fat Yews, lambs on the way.


We had our coats on too.

Celandine. (?)

This is Church path Cottage.  A Public Footpath to the church goes through their garden
and is the only means to access the church.  Difficult for weddings (and funerals).


One of the estate cottages.

This drain has been decorated somewhat.  Can you see the ornamental Otter?



Two brave Daffodils, a couple of weeks of sunshine & we'll have them everywhere.

Remains of an old fence.

Fungi on a rotting tree stump.

And finally, this little Robin followed us back to our car, it was so tame, or maybe hungry?
We had a packed lunch in the car and he/she got plenty of cheese and bread crumbs.

  1. A wonderful advert for winter in Lincolnshire, great choice of photos. Interesting the rights of way we have in the UK, shown by church path cottage. I've often wandered along public paths and wonder if I should really be there or not.

    Trust Dennis did you no harm. We had torrential rain but fortunately no flooding locally.

    1. Thanks for your comment Mike, no problems here following "Dennis". Strong gales but not much rain.
