The Unexpected!



   What a Thursday! 
Unusally, overslept for work,
could have even slept on!
But despite all this,
made it, eventhough a slight rush.


Well overstaffed today,
so I was able to have some time off.
'A very welcoming break'
Eventually, headed for  Exmoor, Somerset.
Especially wanted to visit Snowdrop Valley.




Drove to Weddon Cross, then caught a minibus down into the valley.
Unable to drive to the desired location, as the  road is closed for this occasion.
 I can fully understand why after the bus ride,
as the roads going steeply into the valley were very narrow & well laden with ice,
temperatures of late have plummented yet again.

But the walk & sight of all the Snowdrops were a very beautiful sight.
So lovely to see them growing in such a wonderful natural woodland setting.
The minibus is available until the end of February, although if plenty of time,
 then a walk to the destination is also a welcoming pleasure
So tempting to go again.


An afternoon, well worth the effort. . . .
