Dead tree at Raywell The remains of a tree at the side of Westfield Road. I briefly thought that it might have been a victim of the consistent strong winds during February 2022, but nearby pieces of the stump looked to have been there for some time.

Snowdrops at Raywell On the verge on the southern side of Westfield Road, part of a large drift, which were probably, in early March, a bit past their prime.
