Saturday 19 February 2011: Après-sledge

As forecast we had had snow overnight, and it kept up steadily through the morning, building up to three or four inches.

Once it had stopped, we went out to play. It was excellent snow for building, and we soon had a tall snowman in the garden. Then it was time for a bit of sledging on the moor, with 3yo (making her Blipfoto debut) enjoying herself.

While the kids retired to the warmth, I set off on a short walk to see if I could spot the Snow Buntings that have been on the moor for the past week or so.. I wasn't holding out too much hope, but this was the only chance I had before heading to Wales for a few days. When I reached their spot, this was the scene I encountered. I did spot two of the first Skylarks to arrive, but no sign of the the Snow Buntings - I'll try again later in the week if they're still about.

If we do manage to get to Wales tomorrow, I will be internet free, so back blipping will commence on my return.
