Today I had my first snowdrop event. Not a lunch but tea/coffee and home made cake after a look at the snowdrops in the front and back garden. I invited members from the local RSPB group that I belong to. It went down very well despite chilly wind. Most snowdrops were open.

I think I will start doing one in mid/late January every year

being determined to visit more this year weather permitting I'll probably try and pop down after a quick trip to Myddleton house on the Sat 4th.
