and this is where you can see early signs of spring in mid February, like these winter aconites in Evenly Wood Garden -
which look like this close-up.
or crocus lifting the misty background with a touch of pastel colour.
But this is what most people come to see at this time of the year - snowdrops.
The fast flowing stream adds to the attraction
even though it makes for some muddy walking in places, but where even here daffodils are showing.
There is a typical (?) English pub in the village where you would hope to find refreshment, but where us poor old folk were denied a bowl of soup because all the tables were booked, which in view of the number of empty tables were presumably occupied by ghosts.
No great problem: Buckingham is on the doorstop and there in this typical English market town we found a really warm welcome in typical Italian style.
