Christmas 2017 Update

Posted on December 25, 2017 by Len

The daffodils are very happy this month, lots of rain and then a downfall of snow and frost to slow them down a bit. They should be on target for the normal dates this coming year! We will have the walks available from Wednesday 28th March to Sunday 8th April inclusive.

I’ve taken some dry straw and feathers down to the magic oak and all the wildlife is out and very active.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
