Nymans.. for lunch and a wet wet walk..

The weather today was ... pants..  It started with heavy rain, turned to snow, and then back to rain again.

I popped into town and then decided to go to Nymans Gardens.

It was lunch time, so had a very tasty Tuscan Bean Soup .. followed by..

a fruit scone.

The rain had eased a little, so suitably clad I headed off for a walk.... some of us decided that staying in the back pack was a good idea!!

Hellebores bringing some colour..

Snowdrops coming through.. lovely to see..

and the lichen on the tree was pretty

cheery Cyclamen

Some colour in the Rose Garden

We sought shelter for a bit in one of the doorways of the house

"Knock knock"... ah well... another day....

hmmm.....

Helper to the gardeners..

and finally, having decided the rain was never going to stop.. we headed off home..

Really good to get some fresh air, a bit of winter colour... and rust ... :)
