With reference to the previous 'snowy' blog, I discovered, amongst my drafts, the following text and images, written well over a year ago, after a visit to Egglestone Hall Gardens and thought it was a pity to waste it...
Just before the snow arrived last week, I paid my annual visit to the tiny abandoned churchyard in the grounds of the wonderful Egglestone Hall Gardens to view the snowdrops. There are other places nearby that also have wonderful snowdrops but Egglestone Hall's churchyard is somewhere extra special with its own particular ambience.

It always feels as if there's a story there just waiting to be told. (Wendy please note!)
One almost expects to see a figure rise up from behind one of the ancient gravestones - probably a cliched lady in a long grey dress and bonnet (must stop reading the Brontes). She'd be clutching a tiny posy of snowdrops, just picked from one of the graves...
