I had to do a snowy post!
We woke to the expected snow, 30-40cm by the time we drew back the curtains.
I fed the birds and put some biscuits out for the stray cat.

Then after breakfast we put on our boots and set off.
Our plan was to walk across the valley and up through Rough Hey woods opposite our house. Then take the footpath to Longley and drop down to Triangle and home
It was a magical walk.

Now Hubby can't resist a snow drift!
He found a nice deep one and a nearby wall and......
He use to do gymnastic when he was a lad so......
This was the dry stone wall, drifts both sides.
I will be back with a post all about it.
We were out in the snow today, it wasn't as bright as your photos show, we had thick cloud and heavy skies. My lads bounced off the snow covered walls into thick drifts, I just chose to take photos and try and keep my back to the howling wind!
ReplyDeleteI am in denial. It is Spring I tell you... Spring!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Lyn especially of hubby airborne!!! You were very brave to go out and face the elements - I stayed indoors!!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful hike with us. It was a great way to make the most of the situation! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos -I'm going to show the ones of your hubby doing a somersault to Mr K and challenge him to a dare! Well done for getting out in this biting cold weather x Jane
ReplyDeleteOh it looked like you were both having grand fun ... I did . Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteWow how wonderful it all looks, but so very cold.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant pics, Lyn! I'm very impressed at the somersault! I never get bored of snow posts, and it does look particularly pretty where you are. We've also had a lot - I can't remember snow this deep since I was tiny! Enjoy the workshop!

ReplyDeleteWhat a super, energetic walk! Love the photo of the hamlet with the cobbled lane:)
ReplyDeleteFantastic images but my favourite has to be the action shots of your husband in the snow! I'm glad we haven't had the snow down here and hope you manage to get to your craft workshop OK.

Wow, are you married to Louis Smith, your husband's gymnastics are impressive. Amazing amount of snow around the country, but we've all had enough now.
ReplyDeleteI feel exhilarated after your lovely walk, thank you for sharing it. Fab pics of hubby, they made me laugh. You've put me to shame Lyn I only went to the bottom of the lane and back. Need some wellie for Kikki, poor thing got full of clumps of snow, they weighed her down.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the pinny pics. Have a good day
Lynn xx
What a great post!
ReplyDeleteYour walk looks lovely and the photo's of your husband jumping off the wall in to the snow are fantastic! Where was your jump?
Take Care

Ahhh, glorious pics. We walked the dogs in the snow today, too. Quite magical in the woods, but can only manage to vault the farm gate these days. Golly, the height on that somersault, impressive! Er, the excuse is that Beatles song "When I'm ***4' bdumbum!
ReplyDeleteYour post has cheered me up no end, I was feeling miserable about having more snow but after seeing your pictures I am much happier. Well done to your husband, I wish I had energy like that!
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos! Not boring at all. We had 20-30cm here, the most I can remember in some time, with some knee high drifts in places. All the primulas I planted last week and covered in a thick layer of snow. x
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, especially of your acrobatic husband! I am refusing to take any photos of the snow - my theory is that it will go away if I ignore it!
ReplyDeleteLove your snowy pics - and well done for getting out in it. It's very cold and wintery here but because we're beside the sea, we've had no snow just lots of rain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely walk Lyn and the photos are excellent. Your slippers look very warm and snug.

Wonderful photos, wow you've had it very bad there.
ReplyDeleteI never seem to tire of snow photos, and yours are so wonderful! I wonder if your husband was sore after his antics. Hahahaha. I remember my father saying how his brain thought he could do things but his body disagreed. Now I totally know what he meant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful (and Funny) photos, Lyn!! We have had some heavy snow here, too, but your photos remind me of how beautiful it can be! Your husband is very daring. I'm sure he must give you some good laughs!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Spring will visit all of us soon! xxx
What, you didn't join in all the somersaulting???? Fab pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have had enough of all the snow ,as much as I like it ! Your pics are just stunning though. Hope you enjoyed the workshop! Ros
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures,love the slippers!

We haven't had any snow here apart from a stray flake or two. Your photos are beautiful and the ones of your husband doing acrobatics made me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour knitted slippers are lovely, I've got a few pairs knitted and crocheted and they're perfect to keep feet warm in this cold weather.
Great pictures. Thankfully we've not had that much spring snow down here!
ReplyDeleteFab snowy photos, we've only had a smattering here in Kent but having spoken to my brother, who has lost a lot of lambs, I'm kind of glad. I hope the workshop went well, it would be lovely to work with Janet Clare, I think. Bethx
