We wanted snow (well the boys were very keen) but what we got was sleet and slush, at first light the house was plastered with mushy snow and sleet was bowling across the fields, not nice to venture out in, but no justifiable reason not too turn out for work and school.* Joe was gutted he’d psyched himself up to a school free day and a bit of sledging. I’ve deadline to meet, so I’ll just re-post one of my favourite chicken snaps, from earlier this year, one of the white leghorns, who is not as white as she likes to think she is.
*sorry, I’m not going out to take any photos, you’ll just have to take my word for it, it’s unpleasant.

Damm it never snows properly nowadays does it.
I like the chicken footprints

Unfortunately I can just step out my front door and – after picking myself up at the bottom of the stairs – know EXACTLY what it’s like there. Whatever happened to nice fluffy snow??? (I like the chicken prints, too.)

I like the fell shoe footprints too – the waffle pattern. I wonder who was wearing those…. and I wonder which cat made the other prints.

Just found you via Musings from a Muddy Island – lovely photos. I will be adding your blog to my favourites. In the meantime I am still trying to work out which bit of northern England you are in!

It has snowed properly. I skied out of my front door the other weekend and over the road and round the moss.
Now, though, it’s raining.

Snow here in London soon turns to a grey slush, or icy, so I’d rather not have any at all! xx

Here in the Netherlands it is just as awful. So I ‘shoot’ my birds from behind the window. Warm and cozy. Love your leghorn. Judging from the footprints you two have been taking a walk together.
