In case there is i'll just put up todays male bonding shot.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh, thanks sharki 8)

Alpha male has a gorgeous coloured coat but it looks like a summer one! Do they not darken at all? Obviously enjoying the rays today, it was quite a sunny day, hurrah!

Do you have some antlers for me please?

Antlers haven't dropped yet, a few more weeks i reckon.

The sun was right on them, so i guess they appeared lighter than perhaps they are…I have seen them darker, during the rutt.

These two were a little darker.

I cab take pics of snow drops but won't be able to post them until the weekend.

Imagine small white flowers poking out the ground for now.

Used to go running there.

Yesterday

Heale House

snow drops are so last month though, how about crocus?

isn't CG's fetish for bluebells?

Nidderdale – Sunday

Had some up in my garden for about 3 weeks now, I've got a pic on my camera but never got round to posting it.

Sompe pretty pics there, lovely 🙂

JulianA – where is Heale House please?

RoCkEtDoG – you're absolutely right, I do have a bluebell fetish! Not too long now.

Hi C_G

Heale House is in the Woodford Valley just north of Salisbury.

Heale Garden

Very pretty – lots of Aconites at this time of year as well.

Thanks Julian 🙂

I've never understood the facination with snowdrops, crocus, daffs etc, they just leave me cold. Mile upon mile of hawthorn in flower though, beautiful. Not long now either.

so where are the best mountain biking bluebell woods CG?

There are some nice bluebell woods on the cheeky trail from the Old Ipswich airport to Felixstowe along Nacton Shores and Brazier's Wood. Loads of it.

Mind you, they are out in droves on The Backs in Cambridge. A lovely sight as I drove past yesterday swearing at the students for cycling along talking on phones and swerving in front of me. Clever they might be, bright they are not.

AndyRT – Hampshire of course!

of course!, but any non cheeky trails being chased out by local land owner brandishing HCC labelled pitchfork?

Mind you, how they would catch a rider is beyond me!

I think they are fairly ordinary looking, but I still love to see them pop up because it means Spring is on the way 🙂
