This morning I had the pleasure of Belinda for company. It was a misty morning which didn't clear all the time we were out. We went up to one of my favourite places, Barren Down, which looked very atmospheric, but today there were no views over Shepton!
The footpath we were on took us through somebodies garden, which looked rather forlorn, as all gardens do this time of year. However, we did see signs of life and the brussels sprouts, pictured above, looked inviting to eat! I have discovered that sprouts, coated in oil and roasted in the oven, are much more tasty than boiled...
Last weekend we had a Snowdrop Festival in Shepton and we saw plenty of examples on our walk. They are such a delicate little flowers that looks fabulous in drifts. There have been thousands of bulbs planted around the town so the displays should improve year by year...
Another early Spring flower that I love is hellebores - see above pics. The only problem with photographing them is that their flower heads drop down, facing the ground, hiding their beauty. To overcome this, I had to point and shoot with my camera, practically on the ground, facing upwards!
