Walking At Trentham

 After a day of snow and ice, the weather is settling and the snow is melting. A good day to have a walk.

The air was clear and the sky blue.  The fairies in Trentham Italian Gardens were glistening in the sunlight.

There was still snow on the ground, though we did need to be wrapped up in winter coats to avoid the cold air which was around 4 degrees.


 The Winter sun was casting long shadows and the gardens were not at their best at this time of year, though the crew has kept them in pristine condition.

I was surprised that the fountains were running and the water was rippling in the sunlight.  parts of the lake were still frozen enough for birds to walk in the surface.

The River Trent, from which Trentham gets its name, is running clear and fresh this morning.  Bird song is always present in these gardens in some form and today it was the robins and crows that were the most verbal contributors to the singing.
