Work Work Work...

Due to the snow, we have achieved very little today, unlike a usual Monday which is a hive of activity (!). Well, there were duckles paddling around:

And then there was a sled run to make in the field. I told the children to construct it down the footpath so that our rather draconian landlord wouldn't tell them off for trespassing. I realised afterwards that once it's all frozen solid in the sub-zero temperatures overnight, it's going to be great fun when I try to walk the dog up there tomorrow :-/ but they were being remarkably co-operative with each other so I left them to it:

It was a beautiful day though so I did venture out, and needless to say got roped in to having a go :-)

Transformation

The forecasters were right! We have had snow! The hens weren't sure:

The dog loves it though - he's the tiny dot between the two trees in this photo:

So as the children are with their father this weekend, I've got myself a big blanket, the February socks, the sweet pea socks, my half-finished crocheted wrap, 3 books which require concentration and the box set of Life on Mars which we watched 4 episodes of last night. Oh, and a really big tub of chocolate digestives...think I'm all set ;-)
