The First Snow of Winter


7.30am and Bryn and I set off, lit up like Christmas Trees in the dark, to go for a walk - AND IT WAS SNOWING big, beautiful flakes. It was only settling in the colder hollows on the hillside, so the rest of the walk was the wet, muddy affair that we have come to know and...hate.
By 8.30am when I set off with Amber and Corker, it had turned to rain again.....when will it ever stop?? So we trudged around the hillside, slipping and sliding as usual, and bringing home enough mud to plant flowers in.
But for at least 40 minutes we had proper snow - the first time this winter!! (And no cold icy wind either - hooray!)
(PS I have cheated with the picture - this was from the early months of this year - last winter)
