We woke this morning to the first covering of snow this year - not very heavy but enough to make it necessary to concentrate on driving the SKODA Yeti carefully on the snow-covered track. Lawrence & Michael Atkinson had very kindly cleared the small snow drifts at the top gates so it was no problem at all to drive down the track - the temperature was just above freezing all the way down and warmed to about 3C in Reeth.When we came home mid-afternoon we were greeted by a family of 5 Partridge who were perched on the garden wall - we stopped the engine and just watched them strutting about on the garden wall - lovely birds.
The Met Office forecast suggests that the weather will turn mild & wet within the next few days so hopefully this will clear the snow - sadly this year we shall not have time to sledge or ski as we must concentrate on packing ready for the move.
