Snowdrops around Exeter

February 13, 2019 / devondaze / Leave a comment

On all of my recent walks lately, I've been thrilled to see little signs of spring. There is so much more wildlife around, the bird song is noticeably more varied and cheerier than it was, and there are pretty little flowers decorating the hedgerows! Snowdrops have arrived and shown us that lighter days and warmer … Continue reading Snowdrops around Exeter

There is something just so timelessly beautiful about the carpets of blue that takeover our local woodlands at this time of year. Nothing hints of summer days out and picnic and play plans as much as the scent and sight of vivid blues and gorgeous greens. Whilst small patches can be found around almost any … Continue reading Bluebell Beauty Spots around Exeter
