More Snow!

And here we were, minding our own business, when what should come flurrying down was more snow - so much for the weather forecast! Ever the ones to make the most of things, it was on with the walking boots, warm coats, thick gloves and, not forgetting the ear muffs, it was off for a spontaneous walk. We are lucky to be surrounded by some fabulous walking countryside, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths. Most are well sign-posted. Only once did we need to retrace our steps when the track on which we were rambling petered out to nothing. It's quite amazing how the countryside can look quite different when covered with a sprinkling of snow! It was also fascinating to track so much of the local wildlife, pheasant and deer included, which couldn't help but leave their mark on the snow. What fun!
