This has been a busy week, having the girls on Tuesday, out for a meal on Wednesday, Valentines Day, with 12 other members from church. Thursday the sun shone and it was too good an opportunity to get some fresh air and a walk.
An early lunch and we set off for Stowe in Buckinghamshire to explore the National Trust Gardens.
A buggy ride down to the main gardens and we set off in search of snowdrops and aconites. We found a lot of both and also miniature cyclamen peeping out under the trees.
It was very muddy under foot and very busy being the first really nice day for sometime and the children are on half term.

| Love this view of the lake |
There seems to be something new to see around every corner, and in a small clearing there is the outline of a previous building and this stone...

| Since all things are uncertain indulge thy self |
 |
| Carved wooden benches are a delight amongst the snowdrops and aconites. |

| The Temple of Virtue |
 |
In 1730 William Kent and James Gibbs designed many temples and statues in the gardens
and I believe this is the Temple of Virtue in the middle of the golf course! |
We managed almost 5000 steps and went home with rosy cheeks as there was a cold wind on this nice sunny day.
