The weather forecasters had predicted snow, and they finally got it right. Throughout the night, a soft blanket of snow covered the ground. It looked like a winter wonderland when I got out of bed. As I set off on my walk this morning, it was still a little overcast but crisp and refreshing.
The village Christmas tree lights will be taken down today. It is a shame that the snow hadn't arrived much earlier.
As I walked down the fields, I noticed how much the snow changes the landscape. It looked like somewhere completely different. Although it looked a bit bleak this morning, it still looked really pretty. I'm glad I chose this route as it was too slippy walking down the hill. Car drivers were still driving too fast, so I figured it would be the safest route.
The little brook at the stile caught my attention. It was entirely frozen over, and the slabs on the ground were quite slippy.
It was also a little slippy walking up to the lake. There wasn’t many people out. I don’t understand why snow deters people from coming out as it looks so lovely.
The old boat house looked particularly scenic. It's always nice up here whatever the season.
I put a bit of bird seed on the wall. The robin didn’t waste any time swooping down for it.
As I got back into the village the bits of green popped out.
I always enjoy walking past the garden ornaments, the pheasant, and cockerals. Up until a few days ago, they were dressed up in their santa suits. 🙂
It was turning to rain as I got home. No doubt the snow will have gone tomorrow.
