Carpet of Snowdrops. - a photo on Flickriver

            As long as I can ever remember there has always been a glorious show of beautiful snowdrops in the Churchyard of the Village where I grew up. The location is St. Bartholomews Church, Longdon-upon-Tern, Nr. Wellington, Telford, Shropshire.
After a hard days farm work my father then used to go to tend the grass at the Churchyard and in the Winter every Sunday morning at 6am light the antiquated boiler to heat the Church for Sunday Services. Hard times, but a lovely childhood at the Village School next to the Church.
