There's only one way to begin this week...

... with the compulsory snow-vid of course :-) It was the foal, Bryher's, first experience of snow but as with most things he encounters, he wasn't fazed and gave it his best shot...
Normally its pretty easy to take barefoot horses out exercising in the snow but we had a problem this time because it had drifted across the lane and the drifts were up to 3 feet in places so not easy to ride through - even on a horse like Felix who has seen it all before.
The fields are really deep in places so going off road wasn't an option...
However after a solid 3 hours on the tractor we finally managed to dig our way through to the outside world.
The view on the way back home from collecting my shopping ;-) God bless Sainsburys - they tried to deliver on Friday, then Saturday and I finally managed to meet them yesterday evening a few miles away just off the main road - the nearest their little lorries could get to us!
