This is a snowdrop walk open to the public in Gloucester .
A friend and I went on one like it a few years ago. We made a weekend trip away, going on the Saturday and staying over night. It was so pretty and I hadn't seen so many snowdrops and there was a scent as we walked along. Then we had a lovely Saturday afternoon going round some shops in the little town, we even treated ourselves to a Cream Tea.
Our B&B was very comfortable , and I was pleased we had booked it, but we were very surprised when the lady running it asked if we wanted to stay on the Sunday night, because we had only booked it for the one night, as we had work on the Monday. She thought it might snow, but there was no sign to us that it might.
Locals said it would be difficult driving and we were advised not to drive and wait to see if it would stop. It didn't and gradually got worse. Mid afternoon we both phoned our schools to explain the problem and that we wouldn't be there Monday morning.
I arrived in school by Monday afternoon, and was astonished to see that there was no snow in Essex...but I had photographs to show I had indeed been snowed in, it was very deep and crisp and even!

The snowdrops are just gorgeous!
Sorry you got snowed in but it sounds like you made it home just fine. All those snowdrops are beyond beautiful.
First you get the beautiful Snowdrop flowers and then you get the incredible snow flakes. A picture that you've posted today with all those millions of snowdrops blooming that is just incredible.
Sometimes you just need to get photographic evidence don't you. :-)
You've reminded me to go and check my plant pots with the Snowdrops in, we have some daffodils pushing through in the flower beds, signs of Spring to come.
That sounds like a fun snowdrop adventure.
The photo is amazing. It would be memorable to see the scene!
Love the snowdrops in your picture.
All the best Jan
All those snowdrops are beautiful. What a lovely surprise to wake up to snow!!
What a sweet memory. Want some of our snow?
Oh what beauty to see so early in the year!
Bet that was a bit stressful, but a nice extension to your vacation.
A carpet of snowdrops looks so beautiful. I have seen bluebell carpets but not snowdrops. It sounds like you had some good memories of that trip to Gloucester with your friend a few years ago.
