Snow

We woke up to about 4 inches yesterday and the birds tapping on the window, pointing at their mouths like Simon's cat.  I counted 16 blackbirds on the crab apple tree, the fence and the ground at one point - and one fieldfare.  The photo is one I took earlier ....

During a walk through the village in the afternoon we saw an igloo

 

and a promise of spring in the churchyard.

 Home to a warming cuppa and fruit cake.
