We had more snow last night

We have had very little in comparison to rest of UK but last night several inches fell of the fluffy stuff. Our trip to the park was magical. Love how the way the snow has picked out the details of the railings and the kissing gate.

Spring days are here.

I always find it fascinating when I see the walks that other people take, so thought I would blog another one of our walks. We live next to the park so only have to go through the kissing gate to start.

Are there kissing gates everywhere? A kissing gate is a gate that only allows only one person at a time through. The gate swings in a sort of semi-circular enclosure. Traditionally, the first person goes through and then the second has to pay a forfeit of a kiss to be allowed through. I am happy to say that the tradition still continues with many of the people using this one!

Once through the gate we pass the garden with all the bulbs in bloom. Can you see the first of this year's baby rabbits basking in the sunshine? The adults drive us demented with their burrowing and eating all the new growth but the baby ones are very appealing.

Along the lower path in the park and then over the river. This is a view from the footbridge looking downstream.
