A little bit of snow and Britain grinds to a halt. The trouble is, we’re just not used to it. For the children it’s exciting, a chance to get out of school, get out the sledges and have fun! But for anyone older it is a nightmare, getting about is treacherous, streets become impassable and accidents abound.
Even so, snow still continues to be beautiful, especially if it it is coming down thick and fast. It has been snowing for over an hour and already it looks impressive collecting on leaves and branches.
We may be wrapped up safe and secure in our heated houses with food in the fridge, but it’s worth sparing a thought for the wildlife. These blackbirds tuck into the food I put out for them earlier, seeds and a fat-ball, while they struggle with the cold and the snow flakes which seem much bigger to them than us.
Update:
Just after lunchtime and the snow is not letting up and collecting nicely onto objects in our garden.
