How lovely it was this morning walking the dog at around 8 a.m. when the snow was lying unspoilt on the ground and no-one was about.
I was amazed to see that a snow plough had been round overnight and so the lane down to Cuckoo Tye was quite walkable, although very icy. I think that it must have been one of the local farmers, who have been roped in to help on these occasions by the County Council. Thanks a lot to him or her for turning out!
I am rather frustrated because these pictures of our garden, taken this morning, would have been great for this year's Christmas Card. This featured a picture of the house, but since the photo was taken in November, as can be seen below it was completely snow free. The berries on the holly bush were plentiful and red though, and it seems that the old saying about a lot of berries meaning a cold winter has proved right this year.
