Snowdrops are in bloom by the river in Margaret’s Meadow, The Byes, near the Golden Copse.

Photographer Eve Mathews took these pictures this week.

Eve said: “They were out to perfection, with more to come in the shadier places. Fortunately the ground had dried from last week’s rain. They extend further and more densely year on year and are well worth a visit.”
