Been a mild day so wanted to catch up with dead heading in the meadow 1st it was a walk down to beam weir & if you watch the nature programs on BBC2 as it was recently all about otters you would have seen the weir I talk about on this blog & Facebook. Well when doing the dead heading it was good to uncover snow drop bulbs & seeing shrubs coming into bud. Been such a mild start to the new year but thinking that will be changing in the next few days & over the weekend.
