Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge, yesterday - NOT amateur radio
The photo shows Anglesey Abbey, near Cambridge, yesterday where we went for a walk with friends we met at university in 1967.
It was very muddy and mild. Someone told me that as the planet warms, we can expect more clouds and more rain in the UK. Certainly we have had a lot of rain in the last few years.

Proud granddad - NOT amateur radio
Earlier in the week, we visited nearby Anglesey Abbey with one of our granddaughters. The snowdrops are a picture, but they are now past their best. Next it will be daffodils.

Anglesey Abbey - NOT amateur radio
We go for a walk in the grounds of this National Trust property near Cambridge every month probably. Parts of the house are very old. The gardens have something to see in every season.
Being only a few kilometers away makes it very convenient. Should it ever be closed, there are some great walks in the village of Lode nearby.

Herbaceous Border - NOT amateur radio
This was the herbaceous garden at nearby Anglesey Abbey earlier this week. The border displays look wonderful, if short lived. We will blink and the herbaceous garden will be closed and looking dead. They will be tended and look good again next year.

What is it? - NOT amateur radio
This plant was in the herbaceous garden at Anglesey Abbey.
I should know the name but I don't.
UPDATE 2130z: See below it looks like it is called the King's Spear.

Anglesey Abbey - NOT amateur radio
This path at nearby Anglesey Abbey is lined with snowdrops. On the trees, buds are appearing. It can turn much colder, but there are signs of spring all around.

Anglesey Abbey - NOT amateur radio
Yesterday afternoon we went for a walk at nearby Anglesey Abbey. The photo shows a bracket fungus (I think) on a tree trunk. The place is now full of snowdrops and the daffodils are starting to flower.
This photo was taken on my Canon Powershot Zoom camera on zoom. I bought mine on Amazon, but have just realised the price has shot up again! Probably wait a bit and the price will fall dramatically again!

Tactile tree bark - NOT amateur radio
This tree at Anglesey Abbey, not far from us, must be one of the most touched trees in the world. It is on the winter walk there and many people who pass it feel compelled to touch it.

Anglesey Abbey - NOT amateur radio
We go to Anglesey Abbey usually several times a month, but realised we had not been since mid-November.
We expected to see quite a few snowdrops out and maybe a daffodil. Instead, we saw no daffodils out (just a few that will be out in 2-3 weeks) and just one snowdrop out.
In a few weeks many snowdrops will be out. The next few months there is always something to see.

Doorway - NOT amateur radio
This doorway is on the winter walk at nearby Anglesey Abbey. It has always intrigued me. It is through an old wall. I have no idea how old it is, but I'd guess it dates from the 1800s.
