Unless someone on auto approval has added some. I know they are in flower, as I've seen them up around the Cotswolds on my way through to Tewkesbury to visit mum, just wondered if we'd had any uploaded to Poe yet this year. They're always great to see. Here's a past tour of snowdrops put together by Peggy (hope she's well)

Taken yesterday afternoon 23rd Feb 2015 at Rufford Old Hall an Elizabethan property in Rufford, Lancashire run by the National Trust.

So I'll go and get it back from the other place and post it here. Silly me |
