Spring came to Little Dene Park a little too early

The recent cold weather brought some further snow overnight which covered Little Dene Park, High West Jesmond this morning.

These images taken today may suggest that Spring came to Little Dene Park a little too early.

The spring flowers that you can see peeking out above the snow are from spring flowering bulbs which have been planted in Little Dene Park by the Lending a Hand volunteers, which is part of the FOVALD community group.
