Snowdrops
The snowdrops featured a few weeks ago as Image of the Week #13 are now flowering and are a lovely sight to lift the spirits. Though we are still coughing and spluttering with winter colds!

Roll on Spring.
If, like us, you are suffering with the January blues (most of us here are laid up with flu), then this week’s Image of the Week is for you. A sign that Spring is on the way… snowdrops beginning to make their appearance in the graveyard.

This week’s Image of the Week is of the stained glass window in memory of Lady Violet which was erected by her husband, George Herbert, the 4th Earl of Powis. A recent Twitter conversation with our rather grand neighbours, Powis Castle prompted me to use this as Image of the Week. They are a great ‘follow’ and have been my…
