Spring snow showers


Woke up to snow.  We weren't expecting that, although it was pretty cold last night.  The water in the bird baths was frozen and the countryside was covered with a soft layer of snow, melting rapidly in the sun.

Turned off our lights last night from 8.30 onwards as part of Earth Hour.  We played Boggle by candlelight for an hour and then went to bed because we were both exhausted.  Well, it confused the cat.  If we hadn't been so tired it would have been fun so I think we may schedule in regular candlelit evenings.

Grey is so last year



Difficult to believe it's not April 1st.

Some of you may have seen this in The Telegraph

Nature is extraordinary. Long live Pinky!
