Saturday 11th February 2012

Yet another wet and miserable Saturday! We headed towards Glen Maye as initially at least, it looked brighter that way and, we thought there might be a chance of some snowdrops. When we got there, it was at least fairly dry so, we went for a walk down the glen. We were quite surprised to see how far advanced the garlic was

After we returned to the car, we decided to head over to Niarbyl for lunch. This was to be eaten in the car as it was wet and wild, not really eating out weather.

After lunch, we discussed where we might go to see snowdrops and decided the Arboretum at St Johns was a good bet. No such luck - plenty of daffs coming up but no snowdrops or crocus

We decided to head back up north so, after a brief visit into Bishopcourt Glen (no snowdrops there either) we arrived at Ballaugh Old Church.

Whilst walking around the grounds, we found some snowdrops but, they were too battered by the wind to get a decent shot so, I went for a different angle instead

And so, home, with Dave telling me how there is a big clump of snowdrops at the back of where he parks his car....
