They Got it Right for a Change !

The snow fell as predicted overnight and by the morning was about 6" deep, the most we've seen in our 5 years here. The children have the day off school so are busy building an igloo in the field. The pond that has been frozen for the past 5 days is the only clear area.



The view from the field across the river. The chinchilla's seem to be absolutely fine in their avairy. We put some clear plastic on one side to protect them from the rain and they were bounding around their cage this morning when I went out to feed them.
We had over 14 long tailed tits on the feeders this morning. They are regular visitors to the garden and we had over 30 at one time last summer.
The conifer woods looked impressive with the snow too, although great lumps of snow were regularly falling off the branches on to us below.
