Like many places in central and southern UK, the snowfall on Thursday was not as much as forecast, while the snowfall on Friday was much more!
That meant difficult and tiring journeys for our guests arriving on Friday evening, but a beautiful 'Christmas card' scene to wake up to on Saturday morning.
Snow doesn't interfere with farming activities as much as freezing cold weather. We have been lucky so far this winter, and were reminded sharply of that at the end of last week, when everything was frozen up, for 2 or 3 days. Outside jobs take all day, as engines refuse to start, and endless buckets of water have to be carried here and there. It's on days like these, that you realise just how much water a cow can drink!
Fortunately, the thaw is already in full swing, with rivers full to bursting and holiday guests scraping off 'extreme mud' from their walking boots!
