Early January walk around Granta Park

8th January 2023 - Earlier in the month, Andy M took a morning walk around Granta Park. The sun was highlighting the Willow beautifully along the river, and in the woods the Hazel catkins were glowing lemony-yellow in the sun as they wafted in the breeze . The first Snowdrop were showing through the leaf-litter, as were a few fungi. It seemed that earlier high winds and heavy rain had not only brought down an old tree trunk across the river by the sluice, but also flooded the meadows nearby too.
