Daffodils at Winkworth

Around March all of the countryside seems to explode with daffodils. They are absolutely everywhere - besides roads and train lines, in the fields, outside our front door and in the gardens, of course. It was quite a sight, but it seems no sooner have they all bloomed, they are gone again, ready to be replaced by bluebells, which have just started to spring up around the place.

So here's a few daffodil photos from our Good Friday visit to Winkworth Arboretum, which is another National Trust property nearby. It was a bit of a cold and windy day, as you will see, so we didn't think the photos were much chop, but as these are the only daffodil photos we had, we had to share.

Lake behind all of the above


Despite the protective fence, Caitlin almost fell (read ran) into the lake on several occasions


Aunty Tracey knows the name of that the nice flowering tree in the background, but I've forgotten. Please leave a comment if you know.


Still no leaves on the trees by this stage of the year, but Lucy doesn't mind.


This is the lake at Winkworth


I call this photo "Lucy sitting on a rope fence in front of a deer made out of twigs" - it may need some work.


Some daffodils for the road.
