I am sitting at the computer looking out on a winter wonderland that looks like a postcard of Switzerland (without the mountains)!
We walked T through the now-white copse this morning and were greeted by the sight of a dozen schoolchildren pelting each other with snowballs, laughing and chasing each other on the snow-covered rugby pitch.
The school called 2 hours later to say they were sending the kids home. He is now out sledding with a neighbour's son, who couldn't even get to his school.
It's snowing huge fluffy white flakes, and there's already a good 7" on the ground. I've been putting birdseed and breadcrumbs out for the forlorn-looking wild birds.
The Scottie dogs were up to their chests in it this morning, bouncing up and down, their little furry legs getting completely covered in icy balls of snow, and their moustaches all white.
The trains are cancelled, or massively delayed, from here, so there's no point me even trying to get in to London. I'll see tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy today, working in the warm and looking out on a beautiful winter landscape.
