Violets in March

There are a couple of patches of violets growing in the lawn.



They're rather nice. Of course, for a real patch of violets, you have to got to the A143, just on the Haddiscoe side of Beccles:



They are part of a quite large bank, which looks quite elderly, the picture being taken under a fully mature Oak, so perhaps it's an edge of a piece of ancient woodland.



Of course the Lesser Celandines get a look in too:

Late Feb

Spring has arrived

February Snowdrops in snow

A bit late uploading this pic from the flurry of snow we had last week...

January Snowdrops

First few Snowdrops just coming out of bud in the garden



On Church Lane there is a decent patch in full flower

Blubell shoots

While deciding where to put the chicken fencing it became apparent that the woodland end of the garden is actually a Bluebell woodland patch. There are some snowdrops and crocuses too. Maybe the chickens can go round the apple trees...





Ladybirds hibernating on the garden seat

Early Summer but with a fierce easterly breeze. No fetch to the waves, just messy windslop.



The corner always has impressive clapotis even in light winds. Interesting today.



Beach beacon



Scalloped stream edge



Full winter coat for the breeze. No wonder the beach was utterly deserted.



The Baba got a cold nose but seems to have survived the epic breeze...

First Bay on the day of the Royal Wedding



There was a small wind wave

Early Purple Orchid

The Orchid bank doesn't seem to have tone too well this year but there are still a fair number of the Early Purples with a whole mix of other wildflowers among them.

The Gorleston Tiger

The perils of leaving the soft top down on the MX at work include the practical jokes which amuse the nurses........

Yarmouth Gasometer

I started the Glasgow blog with the Anniesland gasometers. Yarmouth has its own dinkie little gasometer, a piece of Victoriana.

This Winter has not been particularly bright or photogenic after last Winter in Glasgow so I've not been too quick to put up any pictures. But now there are snowdrops in the garden and by the roadsides too, struggling a bit in the grey drizzle. There will be Spring soon....
