Bathed in light

We've had a little snow here much to the delight of two members of the household who were only allowed out on the yard the last time we got a covering of the white stuff. I was glad to be able to walk with Rhys and Banon in the snow this time as I love the sound of the crunch beneath my feet and the way the light changes so dramatically when reflected by the snow no matter how small a dusting there may be. Snow accentuates and outlines in ways that draw gasp and whoops from the most recalcitrant foot stamper so if you’re someone like me who finds snow in all its forms an expression of joy the gasps and whoops come loud and fast:0)

That I am aware because we don’t really get any real depth of snow here the chaos a few inches can cause is a joke to those who live with feet of snow through many months and having myself lived in Norway briefly I get the joke but here we haven’t got the municipal equipment nor the personal to deal with snow, now give us a flood and we have pumps and wellies galore. So schools closed, work places were half staffed if they were fortunate and too many drivers stood on their accelerators rather than give room between them and the car in front for ‘slippage’ so smashed bent cars were no surprise except probably to the people who also got smashed and bent.

I on the other hand tried to keep warm by putting a few extra logs on the stove in the sitting room and by going for walks with RnB so that on return the cottage felt that much warmer :0)
