This picture really doesn't do the weather justice. This shows just one blackbird in my (very small) back garden. Sadly I was unable to capture an image of the flock of fieldfares that has descended on my garden to eat windfall apples. There are all sorts out there today, the usual family of blackbirds, goldfinch , blue tits and a tiny jenny wren.It's getting very crowded out there!
After struggling to work on Monday and then having to leave again before lunch I decided to do a recce before setting out this morning. My 20 mile route to work takes me down country lanes but I thought, if the main roads were OK, I would go that way instead. HA!
The main road goes through our village with traffic lights at the top of a fairly gentle slope. Of course, none of the vehicles could get going again when the lights changed so only one or two cars were getting through on each change. One car even got stuck turning out of the village onto the flat! So I and a few fellow villagers gave it a push.
The horses don't seem to be too phased by it. They've got nice toasty warm rugs to wear so as long as they've got plenty of hay.....
Tiger, on the other hand, doesn't have a rug but he does have his extremely thick coat. I just hope he doesn't get lost in a snow drift cos he's got such teeny tiny little legs!
Apparently Annie spoke to the vet about the size of the foal and said vet confirmed that they tend to put on a spurt in the last two months so there was nothing to worry about.

I think the horses here would be just as happy not to see anymore snow for this season. Too cold, and they are all pansies. LOL
