January Sunshine in UK

Recently it has been very cold and dismal. The threat of snow round my way didn't materialise. Today I have a day off and thought my friend Jacky would appreciate a little trip out somewhere. So we headed off to the Rococco Gardens, just up the road in Painswick.

We didn't actually go into the gardens as we didn't have much spare time. I am supposed to be getting ready for a trip to Spain shortly. So we just had a stroll and a cup of tea and a natter in the cafe there.
The sun was shining and the skies were blue, it was so beautiful. The Snowdrops are just starting to bloom and so we vowed to return for a proper walk around the woods and gardens in the next week or so.
