Are snowdrop flowers variable in size depending on where they are growing? I’ve spotted this little clump in a part of the garden at work and it looks different to the majority on the other snowdrops here.🌱 🤔

What a morning!! 😍

Went to work this morning as usual. Came home tonight as saw that trees have been planted in the grass verges of the street. I can see at least 8 from our upstairs windows. How fabulous is that going to look in years to come! 😍

A beautiful sunrise on my way in to Medley Manor Farm, Oxford this morning. The fields are flooded but it makes the view even more spectacular. Lots of wildfowl enjoying the water too.

Thank goodness that we aren’t forecast to get any more heavy rain this week. My view to the left, The (waterlogged) Medley Walled Garden where I work. My view to the right, The burgeoning River Thames by Port Meadow, Oxford.

With all the flooding at work again, it brings out some of the wildlife from around the farm. These Muntjac are usually seen near the ancient woodland but they have had to take more drastic action now that the woods are flooded. Filmed this sat in my van whilst having dinner. 🤗

I have a massive favour to ask If you were considering sponsoring me the time is now! I have to reach the £3200 mark by tomorrow night! You've all been wonderful so far and I really appreciate you all ❤️ I’m helping raise money for Marie Curie! Support me at: www.justgiving.com/page/lou-j-n...

Spent the day digging out the last of the plants that I want to over winter in our outhouse. There may be more to cram in there if the weather gets REALLY cold 🥺🤪 Still one or two left to go but I’ve run out of compost 🌱

First post on here and already forgot to add the 🌱 😆

Always love the contrasting colours between our garden and our neighbours garden at this time of year 🤗
