Snow at last







Well, we thought we were missing out, but this morning we finally woke to a sprinkle of snow and bright frosty weather. So, we abandoned all thought of work and went for a walk over the mountain.
We were rewarded with amazing views of the Irish and Welsh mountains and also some close views of some of the birds finding refuge on the island; lapwing, mistle thrush and redwing.
With cheeks rosy from the wind we made it home to curried parsnip soup – life doesn’t get much better.

    Incredible photos Jim. These have been responsible for getting me through the weeks of snow and school closure! It is lovely to see a familiar dent in the wall outside the kitchen full of snow and not my children's wet shoes!!! Thanks x
