Before we arrived, my friend Kate thought snowdrops were just snowdrops. She didn't realise there were so many varieties! Different ones were described as 'short and upright' or 'short and chubby'...

It was a beautiful late winter day and as ever, we enjoyed our visit to Kingston Bagpuize gardens.
