S.A.D is setting in as always at this time of year, driven in part by the reminder of glorious sunny, blue skies in Spain over Xmas. And here we are with continuous grey skies and rain AND another named storm on the way!!
Still, a nice coffee and a cheese and bacon pastry cheered things up a bit.
So here are a random selection from GWH.
Plenty of Snowdrops out and some Winter Aconite (both below). A quick catch up with Richard and ground staff who fielded some questions and pointed out the four new hybrid Elms, hopefully DED resistant.
A single kite and heard only Green Woodpecker, Nuthatch and Redwing were about it for birdlife; a couple of Kestrels on the way back into Petersfield and a Grey Wagtail over the shops.
Tonight a talk from Oliver Smart should feature some good pictures. (P.S and it did!!!)
