Oh, yes.... four days(two weekends)  of snowdrop events! Thanks Wim

[KentGardener]

Thanks Wim - I think one of those dates fits in rather nicely with a spare day I have on a weekend. 

And as it is 20 minutes from my work gym I have no excuse not to do some exercise and then spend an hour or two gazing at snowdrops.

Anglesey Abbey Gardens are open every day between 24th January and 27th February, 10:30 to 16:30.  They have a justifiably-famous Winter Walk and there are plenty of snowdrops to see.  On weekdays at 14:00 you can take a guided tour of the Winter Walk and the special snowdrop collection (which isn't otherwise open to the public).  To book for this tour call 01223 810080.  There is no extra charge for the tour, just the normal admission price (Adults £6.10, National Trust members free).
