House of Dun snowdrop afternoon
This slide show was made using photos kindly provided by Moira Fothergham who attended this event-more details below
THIS might not be the end of the cold weather spell, but the longer days and a bit of sunshine do wonders to lift the spirits, as does the sight of clumps of hardy little snowdrops pushing through the ground.
Vast carpets of white nodding flowers can often be seen in old deciduous woodland and one of the best places to see them locally is at the House of Dun.
As an added incentive to get out and enjoy the returning spring, the Angus Members' Centre of the National Trust for Scotland is having its annual Snowdrop Afternoon on Sunday (March 6) at House of Dun, where tea and freshly baked scones will be available in the Saloon from 2 to 4pm.
There will also be plants for sale - a few miniature daffodils, small purple and yellow irises, primroses and primulas.
A few shrubs which are rather large to pot up will be available bare-rooted along with fruit bushes - summer and autumn rasps and strawberries may be available, small blackcurrant and redcurrant, and a few of the goji berry.
Music is Crazy World by Abba
Lyrics: I was up with the mornin' sun
Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd take a walk
I was thinkin' of you and me
And I went to your house 'cos I had to talk
I could hardly believe my eyes
When I saw this guy closing your front door
Had a feeling of emptiness
Like I've never had before
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl
And I realize
It's a crazy world
As he disappeared in his car
I was stunned and I didn't know what to do
Everything I had ever dreamed
Everything in my life's a part of you
And I just couldn't move my feet
So I stood on the pavement as you came out
You acted as you didn't know
What it was all about
And I close my eyes
Will you leave me, girl
And I realize
It's a crazy world
Baby, how could you do it?
You just told me lies
And you meet behind my back with other guys
Baby, how could you tell me
There was only me?
Well, I was stupid to believe you
I was blind but now I see
Then you smiled and you took my hand
There is something, you said, that you may not know
There's a couple of men in my life
And one of them is my brother, Joe
He's been gone for a long, long time
But he's back and I think he's gonna stay
You'll be seeing a lot of him
He's so nice in every way
And I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
And I realize
It's a crazy world
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realize
It's a crazy world
So I close my eyes
Never leave me, girl
Then I realize
