This was the scene from our bedroom window when we looked out this morning at about seven. The first snow of the winter as far as we were concerned. We'd had about six inches overnight, but with a rather gusty wind it had drifted in places.
The next three photos are of our garden. As you can see from the last one the ferns are still green from last year. When this lot goes I'll have to trim them back hard, I think. As we've both got sniffly colds we didn't go out today apart from a little light snow shovelling from garden paths, and spreading sand and salt in the car park at the back of us. A neighbour had done some of it, including a path to our back gate, which was neighbourly of him, and left me very little to do. As his car was out I don't think he could have seen me do my bit, and wouldn't have thought it churlish of me after he'd done our path.
Spent a quiet day in the workshop mostly. Had a fire this afternoon, which we sat beside and got on with yesterday's Telegraph Prize Crossword (eventually completed later on Sunday evening, with the help of some clue-swapping with Sheila- just along the road- who 'phoned for the purpose). Ann did a game casserole for supper using one of pheasants Jill gave us. Very tasty dish of a winter evening. It was followed by a lemon drizzle cake she'd made earlier in the week, with custard. Oh well, feed a cold and starve a fever.
Good night all.

Stay well fed and you'll stay warm :)
Yes if you are sniffly it is your duty to eat lemon drizzle cake with custard.
Thank you Ruth. We'll try.
Hello Pat. Talked to Ruth per 'phone yesterday, confessed to having colds, and she said to eat lots of vitamin C. She went on to say that nobody had ever overdosed on Vitamin C. Ruth's daughter Freja (who has, I'm afraid, a sense of humour- can't think who she takes after) was heard in the background saying "No, but I've heard of people getting C sick."
Pretty good for nearly twelve, eh?
