Snowdrop time again

Back to Nonsuch Park last week to see how the snowdrops of Herald Copse were getting on - to find them more or less full on. Looking very well indeed in the morning light.

Which was more than could be said for the jackdaw which we passed on the way to the café, a jackdaw which was not well at all. Just about on its feet but that was about it.

Good tea and cake - the same girl who had showed up on New Year's Day - perhaps the manageress - after which we took a stroll round the stand of big conifers on the other side of the house. Daffodills on the move there, but some weeks off flowering, being in the shade. Some more snowdrops.

Back past what was the southeastern park keeper's house, the one for which there was talk of a veterinary surgery but for which we could not see any sensible access for car borne custom. Lots of dog walkers, but, by definition as it were, they are not going to walk in.

Then to the southwestern park keeper's house which seemed to be more or less derelict, so rather a waste - particularly when one might have thought that Nonsuch Park was a big enough place to carry a full-time park keeper. Also a much more likely place for the vet, given the proximity of entrance and car park.

And so to the car park and home.
