IT is easy to forget we are still in winter given the weather over the past few days.
Temperatures are predicted to reach 19c today as the mild February weather continues.
But this time last year we were in the middle of the biting cold of the Beast from the East.
So our photographer Dave Gillespie has been out and about this morning, Tuesday to recreate the pictures of the same landscape one year on.

The snow had settled in the park
Blossom is blooming rather than holly being covered in snow
