Day 86 - March 27th

In recent months I've been taking part in a Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt. One of the items to photograph was 'The Oldest Thing I Own'. I've posted about this bell before. It came from the Methodist Church which I used to attend and potentially dates from 1897 when the Sunday Schoolroom was built onto the church.

As with the other woods we have walked in recently there was fungi to spot.

Signs of spring were also evident ...

Primroses

Sticky Buds - Horse Chestnut

Day 78 - March 19th

 This afternoon we went for a stroll around Wrest Park.

The grounds of Wrest Park always look different depending on the time of year.

At this time of year Primroses are growing in the wooded areas....

.... and the trees are sporting new growth.

We spotted a heron on the other side of the water. We saw one in the same spot in January, I wonder of it was the same one.
