AS they bloom at the end of January, snowdrops are often described as the harbingers of spring - so anyone who needs reassuring that winter's end is only a matter of weeks away should make an effort to be at a North Yorkshire stately home this weekend.
Kiplin Hall, between Northallerton and Richmond, is hosting a Snowdrop-In on Sunday, which includes a talk by garden expert Tim Culkin, who will be shedding more light on the varieties of the flower which can be found locally.
Visitors will then be invited on a tour of the grounds, which ends with a mug of hot chocolate inside the hall and the chance to buy snowdrops. Tickets for the event cost £4. More details are available on (01748) 818178.
