Snowdrops Snowed Off

We are doubly blessed in Gloucestershire at snowdrop time. We have Mr Elwes’s national collection at Colesbourne Park and the acres of snowdrops at Painswick Rococo Gardens. Both should have been open this weekend but were snowed under.

Saved by NGS and the lovely people at Rock House Elberton. A couple of acres, not far from the first Severn crossing, covered in snowdrops and what a wonderful day to enjoy them. Bright sunshine, crisp and bracing.


There was also a sprinkling of other seasonal flora.


and traditional bee hives.

Hoping to make Colesborne next weekend weather permitting.
