We have had a few warm days so I took the opportunity to tidy up my allotment. I also found some of last years bulbs so I have planted them in front of my allotment shed. This late in the year they may or may not flower.

I had a walk along the river Eden to Lacy's Caves. The path in many places has collapsed due to flood damage.

There were many landslips along the route

This is flood debris that looks like a nest.

Has anyone seen a stork?

Look at the reflections

Lacy's Caves are man made.

Gothic arches

The walls are covered with graffiti.

Can you see any famous signatures?

Look how the tree grow out of the rocks.

Ripples and cracks in the sandstone

There were clumps of snowdrops on the forest floor.

These snowdrops have very large stems

The flower heads are bell shaped

Look at the contours and the field patterns
