These crocus flowers have popped up on the common and are treating us to a beautiful scene!
✨ Did you know…?
🌱 Crocuses are one of the very first signs of spring — often blooming in the UK as early as January or February.
❄️ They’re tough little things and can push through frost… even snow!
💜 There are over 90 different species in the Crocus family, in shades of purple, white, lilac and golden yellow.
There are many more facts about these little purple beauties! Let us know if you know anymore!

Ants help spread the crocus seeds, a process called myrmecochory.
Beautiful 😍

Highways have closed the road from The Downgate, over the common, through lower Denford along to the A4.
After speaking with the contractors, they are resurfacing the top layer of the road.
We expect the road to be closed for the majority of the day.
More news and updates when we have them!

We’ve been on River Dun watch 👀
After recent rain, she’s moving fast and full of energy – a powerful reminder of nature doing its thing. There’s something oddly calming about watching the water rush by, even when it’s wild and untamed.
Always worth pausing for a moment to take it in 💙
