This morning we awoke to a winter wonderland. everything was covered in a thick layer of snow.
Our first thoughts were to grab our walking boots and water proofs out of the back of piglet and head out into the countryside.
We do love a bit of snow and of course here in the midlands we hardly get any so this was a real rare treat
Everything looked like a postcard, trees had snow and ice dangling from there branches like Christmas decorations, glistening away in the wind.
Gaps in the hedgerows revealed vast fields and hills in the distance covered completely in a white layer of snow.
Villages looked like they were straight out of a Christmas film, with log fires burning making the air smell like we had stepped into the past, inside people looked out onto the snow covered roads some making snowmen in there gardens.
We were now out in the countryside away from the villages and towns. Nobody around just us and nature, birds would swoop in front of us hiding among the hedgerows then fly onto the ground leaving small trails behind.
We moved a stray log next to the river and used our blanket to make ourselves a cosy seat. We had a warming cup of tea and enjoyed watching the snow fall around us
Today was a delight, getting to walk in the snow and see the fields and forest transformed into a snow covered landscape, another reason we love the seasons on this little island we call England.
