Yesterday, we headed along Slack Lane to Mapperley Village and then up Shipley Hill. The early spring flowers there, were wonderful. Of particular note, were these beautiful Wood Anemones.
Just the one patch of them, but no less wonderful for that.
Elsewhere along our walk, things were still not showing much sign of new growth...
but the Gorse along Slack Lane was in full bloom...
and the Hawthorn bushes are beginning to show lots of fresh green shoots.
This afternoon, we set out in the sunshine again for Mapperley, but this time, taking in the reservoir.
It's all quite spooky at the moment with so few people about (away from the main paths) and with no planes in the sky and no background roar and noise from the nearby roads, all was absolutely quiet still. Until the geese started honking! Here too the spring flowers were beginning to look lovely. This little clump of Coltsfoot were gorgeous against the blue of the water.
