| Snowdrops, Martlesham, January 2018 |
The church sits above Martlesham Creek ...
... and, sure enough, there were a few early drifts of Snowdrops for us to enjoy.
Some were still in bud,
... while others were in bloom.
I noticed one early Crocus flower ...
There were a few Holly berries, adding a splash of brightness to the hedge.
We peeped inside the church just before it was locked, and saw a wall painting (St Christopher bearing the Christ-Child) ...
... and some beautiful panes of stained glass. I particularly liked the sheep faces.

I was delighted to see my first Daisy of 2019: may there be many more!

Always lovely to see the first snowdrops of the year! Ours will start flowering soon
Every aspect of your journey here is delightful - your readers are with you,
as you look with great respect and love, at flowers and stained glass.
What a super church and churchyard. So lovely to see your first snowdrops of the year. I noticed a few daisies in flower (in a churchyard) at the weekend too.
The wall painting in the church is wonderful and the stained glass with the sheep just beautiful :)
Isn't it lovely to see the first snowdrops.
Lovely to see all of your photographs, and I do like the stained glass windows.
All the best Jan
