Snowdrops

I managed to walk Oreo this morning - his paw/leg seems to have improved overnight and there was no sign of a limp.

It was very cold - again - but I soon warmed up walking!

The ‘snowdrop bank’ in the old lay-by has sprung into life and there are hundreds of shoots appearing above ground. I had to use the flash as it was fairly dark in the undergrowth…the trees and shrubs provide great shelter and protect the ground from frost.

I would have liked to get closer but was wary of treading on shoots hidden under the leaf litter…

We met our daughter at a garden centre for brunch - she then came back to our place to collect the dogs. When they got back home Oreo just crashed on the tiled kitchen floor - he must have been tired!
