We woke up this morning to a blanket of white. It had been forecast so we were forewarned and had stocked up on groceries.
The UK never copes well with snow. Schools and airports are shut; workers have not gone in today; roads are in chaos. I’m jolly glad we didn’t have to go out in the car today. I think the UK just doesn’t have enough snow ploughs or snowblowers, so every time we get snow the country grinds to a halt.
The hens were not at all happy, never having seen snow before they didn’t want to venture out. We tried to tempt them with food but only a couple came down the ramp.
The Fruit cage has collapsed. The weight of the snow on the nets has pulled it down. That’s going to be a big job to mend that.
We donned our hats, scarves, coats and boots and went for a walk, crunching through the newly laid snow. It was not so nice with the snow blowing onto our faces, but envirgorating to be outside.
I love making footprints in the snow……
Not much traffic had been down our lane.
We must have had at least 4 inches of snow, more in some places. It’s beautiful the way it sits on gates and hedges.
Walking back up the lane towards home, we got a view of our house in the snow, a welcome sight, knowing how warm it is inside.
Luckily we don’t have any B&B guests booked in at the moment, as I think they would struggle to get here today.
