In the midst of the credit crunch the Country is having fun in the snow. This takes me back to my childhood in Derbyshire. We would drag out our sled and spend many happy hours sledging down the fields around. We had to be called in for bed by our parents and fell asleep happy and exhausted. We had no television just play and natural exercise.
We are having fun watching the birds in our garden enjoying the food we put out. The blackbirds spend so much energy seeing off their rivals. We have to send the pigeons packing or there is nothing left for the smaller birds. Flocks of long tailed tits arrive each day to enjoy the seeds and suet balls. Robins and chaffinch's starlings and magpies are also appearing each day. It is a problem keeping the water defrosted
One person who doesn't enjoy the snow is our cat. She goes out when she has to and shakes her paws with each step.The chickens don't like the cold weather but are still keeping us in eggs
Our efforts in the garden and freezing our excess vegetables and fruit are now paying dividends we are living on the fruits of our labours.
One benefit of being retired we can watch all the young folk struggling to get to school and work. We are told travel only if you have too.
We are expecting more snow showers today.Our fuel allowance is helping towards keeping warm and enjoying the view from the warmth of our lounge window. The snow news has brought a little light relief and a change from all the normal doom and gloom in the papers.
Devon County Council have been working hard throughout the night keeping the roads open. A big thank you goes to our paper boys and girls, our paper arrived at the normal time of 6.30am
