Snowdrop Valley

This is another post from the past.. I'm bored, y'see. This is from Snowdrop Valley on Exmoor (Wheddon Cross, I think). It was back in early February. There were little bits of snow blowing round in the wind, so it really was cold.. hence the stylish hats. Couldn't find my glubs anywhere though. Had very cold hands that day. After our very nice walk (you can see Dad, and a little of me here) we went to the village hall where we had some very welcome hot vegetable soup, and I bought a jar of chutney (pear and walnut) from the WI there. The flowers were beautiful, and prolific. Am definitely going back this year.

Snow!

Yes, OK, so it's a little old and out of sequence, but I'm uploading things as they occur to me, or feel inspiring. This is me and our snowman - I've forgotten what we named him.. think it was Bob. He has a carrot for a nose, and dried apricots for eyes. The dye from the scarf ran as the snow started melting.. we had some purple ice. It looked really odd.

Just before this photo was taken, I made my first ever snow angel, in the middle of the road.

It was about midnight. I believe this excursion was followed by hot chocolate :)

I couldn't get to work the next day.
