Lacock Abbey NT (Monday 13th February 2023)

These are not from the Woodland Garden, unfortunately, as mine are some way away from blooming, so I went out in search of signs of spring to Lacock Abbey, my first National Trust visit of the year.

As soon as I got inside I was presented with rows of snowdrops, crocuses and celandines. My K1 gave out after one shot and the spare battery was still on charge so that became a dead weight in my camera bag, but luckily I was carrying my P900 bridge camera and my lightweight Leica LX100. Having rested my back for a couple of weeks I was testing it gingerly and can report considerable improvement, but a different story with stomach muscles playing up.

I walked up to the Rockworks but no sightings of Smokey II again. I walked on to the deep pool and then round the outside of the Abbey. I spotted a swanky vintage baby Austin (in Extras) in the Red Lion car park on the way back to the car.
