Walking is suspended due to the snow!











We have been hit with rather a large amount of snow here in the East Midlands. It started on Monday, when we had several inches of snow, froze on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then we had several more inches of snow on Thursday morning.

Luckily we did not have to go anywhere so we enjoyed a short walk from home and even a walk into the nearest town to do just a little shopping.
Although the roads were clear on Monday, the local council was obviously caught out by the additional snow, as the roads were not salted on Wednesday and so were treacherous today.
The children have not been in school so there has been an explosion of snowmen around the village, and all slopes have been utilised as sledge runs.
