I'm pleased to see those snowdrops, the local ones haven't appeared yet and are usually there by now, so I was wondering if all the rain last year had affected snowdrops across the country! <br /><br />I might try to visit Loynton Moss soon as it sounds very nice from your post and I enjoyed the photos. I like to visit Stone too. I drove through it a lot before Dave moved here and sometimes we'd go there for a wander around at the weekends. <br /><br />We've been walking today too, making the most of the sunshine and we might visit the museum tomorrow if we have time after we've done the jobs we need to do. The sculptures are a permanent exhibition so we don't need to rush, but I'd like to go back soon. <br /><br />Oh, I spotted a 4 miles walk to Three Shires Head in one of my walk books today which might interest you. When the light is good for it, I'll take a photo of the map and email it to you.
