Sleety-snowy stuff

It was snowing when we woke this morning – I quickly grabbed the camera and took some shots from Flame’s bedroom window. As the first photo shows, the flakes were huge but the snow didn’t look like it would settle for long before melting. The second photo, also taken from an upstairs window, turned out rather interesting. The poor camera couldn’t cope with zooming beyond the falling snow and the end of the garden to where the sheep were standing, so the result looks more like a painting than a photograph. Cool. …Lambs have gradually been appearing in the fields with the older sheep over the past few weeks, and they are already having to put up with freezing rain and snow. Brr!

The girls hurriedly got dressed and scooped up snow to throw as it was melting, occasionally coming indoors to swap their soaked mittens for dry ones. They were not going to miss a moment of it! The pots of mud stew they had left in the garden were also ‘cooked’ to icy crust perfection:

Because she is seven, Flame dropped the chunks of ice on the ground and jumped on them until they were smashed to bits.
