Snow days

 Never let it be said that we weren't warned.

If you saw my previous post you'll know that on Wednesday there was a severe weather warning issued by the UK Met office. 

I had hoped that we wouldn't be too affected by the snow but boy was I wrong.

What started as gentle snow flurries soon became blizzard like, by the time darkness fell trees and bushes were covered and the spring bulbs were hibernating once more.



It wasn't until Saturday afternoon that the sun began to shine in a beautiful blue sky and the thaw began.
Neighbours came together with snow shovels, a forgotten snow blower was uncovered in the back of someone's garage and the heaviest snowfall seen in these parts for 27 years began to be cleared from in front of homes, along driveways and public footpaths.


It was wonderful to see everyone working together, we haven't lived here very long but on Saturday we realised just how blessed we are to have found our forever home in this village and this community.
