Apart from a walk to the cinema in the snow, we'd not walked in 2013 so we were pleased that Saturday was sunny. It seemed likely that there would be snowdrops around, so we chose a route that took in Swyncombe Church - known as a reliable site for snowdrops. We'd had a nice lunch at The Crown at Nuffield recently, so started from there.
Although it was sunny, there was an icy wind, so Rosie put her cagoule on at the car, so she was wearing all the clothes she'd brought. I decided that my fleece with a scarf and hat would be enough. The start of the walk was downhill on a wooded path on The Ridgeway. Once we got to the bottom of the incline, I realised that I'd left the rucksack in the car. It only contained my cagoule and our drink so, as it rain didn't seem likely, we carried on without it.
We saw a few snowdrops near the path on the way, but I wasn't prepared for the display at Syncombe Church - not only were there lots of snowdrops, but plenty of aconites too. And all in a lovely setting.
