18th February 2025, a brilliantly fine day, though cold, we walk across farmland (see last Sunday’s post) to Burlingham Woods. We start by crossing the road. Enjoy

It’s not a busy road, especially not at the moment for there are roadworks happening at the far end so most motorists detour and avoid it

And into the woods we go

In more gentrified days these woods were part of a country house estate. This section was underplanted with daffodils, the second section with… you’ll see shortly

The woods are managed. Which basically means trees are felled before they become a danger to the walking public. But then they’re left to decay and recycle their nutrients back into the woodland environment. That means plenty food for fungi, later

We detour a few steps to see if the heliotrope is yet in flower, only to find it’s almost finished flowering (see Tuesday Treats for these)

We’re into the second section of woods which surround a walk from the village and hall to the church

Here we find an extensive underplanting of snowdrops

How long ago they were planted I do not know, but they’re now well-established and naturalised

The church as seen from the woods. Which tells us it’s time to turn around and head off home

Don’t forget to check out Tuesday Treats for more photos of the flowers.
Hope you enjoyed

How lovely it must be to be seeing flowers already! I saw pavement for the first time since October yesterday and was thrilled! Beautiful presentation!

Thank you, Violet. I’m inclined to say I can’t imagine what it must be like to have months of snow. But I remember the winter of 1963, which more resembled Alaska! Great for tobogganing. Well, I was only a child.

Snow has its own beauty. I will say it doesn’t inhibit life from taking place up here that’s for sure. And yesterday was gorgeous! 20 degrees F but sunny as all get out and the sun was warm.

It’s all to do with what we’re used to, I guess

The snowdrops look great and as always you’ve captured some lovely light.

Is it due to being so close to the coast, with wide horizons that, like open curtains, let in the light?
