Fun in the snow




There was more frost than snow but our young visitors still managed to find enough for target practice with their snowballs and couldn't resist building the last snowman of the season.

Last of the snow?


They say that you have to have more snow to remove the "bones" from under the walls and hedges. I wonder if this is our last snow this year. The snow drops seem to cope with any weather when it comes. They emerged through frozen ground at the beginning of the month and seem to have thickened during the warmer days. The florist reckons that the harder the winter, the better the display of bulbs, so we should be in for a good show!
