The Snowdrops Spectacular 2014 - Burton Agnes Hall

It looks as if Spring has sprung. The days are lengthening and the birds are singing. We have snowdrops too, but not as many as at Burton Agnes Hall. Our daffodils leaves are through and it looks as if we we will have a lovely show of yellow dancing daffodils within a month or so. Not far from us is Farndale where you can go to see the wild daffodils which grow down near the river and even go to the Daffy Cafe for refreshments after your walk. So much to do and see here in North Yorkshire

Jack brought me Daffodils

For one who is well known for saying "I never buy flowers" Jack occasionally brings me flowers into the house. I suppose if I got them every week it wouldn't be special . Today I found a bunch of daffodils plonked in a jam jar on the table for me. There are the most amazing daffodils so I took this photo to show you . They are like double ones but with tissue paper like middles rather than trumpets. A bit like a carnation in the middle. I never knew Daffodils smelt but these do. Wanting to know their meaning in flower language I looked it up.I was glad to know that there was a bunch rather than one. One means misfortune but a bunch mean joy and happiness.Thanks Jack.
The Daffodils are out in Farndale too. My visitors had been there yesterday and had a nice walk on the daffodil walk. With the brilliant weather we are having I guess they wont be around for much longer
