snow

Stunning snow today. It's not lying in the village, so we can all trottle about without falling over, but I was up in the hills today, where it's sparkling and still, covering the ridges and lying across the fields, with walls and fences marking out their old clear shape in the white landscape. At home, I saw the first nearly out snowdrop in the garden.

An advantage today of working from home was being able to stop what I was doing just after four and watch the inauguration of President Obama as it happened. One day I will say - I watched that live on television, the day I walked down from the hills in the snow and saw our first snowdrop of the year.
