The first of the #magnolias are starting to bloom at some of the places we care for in #Cornwall, which means spring is just around the corner 🌸 This early burst of colour is sure to brighten a dull February day 😍 #NTTrelissick #NTTrengwainton #SpringIsComing

#Snowdrops are taking over @NTNewarkPark🌱 Swathes of these seasonal showstoppers are carpeting the garden and provide the perfect spot to relax and take a mindful moment as you admire the views. Be sure not to miss them, they’re at their best in February 😍

This was usually the day when I reflected on the year and wonderful autumnal season we were experiencing ⁦@ntstourhead⁩. I would chat with ⁦@eddiemair⁩ and share this magnificent season with his listeners ⁦@BBCPM⁩ . I miss the place and I miss that experience.
