AnonyMouse_19762 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 So .......at last.......we have had some snow this morning! Caused great excitement (and that was just the adults!) - surprising how fast we all managed to get our coats on today! Not enough snow to do anything with - but we had fun trying to catch it in our hands! Aware that for some of the youngest children this will have been their very first experience of snow (we didn't have so much as a single flake last year) - so how lucky am I that I got to share that with them! :1b 3 Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Exactly what we did - and thought!! We had also put some water in our outside builders' tray yesterday before we left hoping for some ice - we did get some but one helpful little chap had found it on his arrival and broken it all up already! We are also having a really good time feeding the birds at the moment, they are even going on the feeders when we are outside! Amazing, they are a brazen little lot (the birds), tree sparrows, a couple of robins, and a blackbird - then much later we had 4 magpies a couple of wood pigeons and a crow! Best bit by far is hearing one of the robins singing at the top of his little heart, lovely. 3 Quote
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Well we had about 6 flakes last Friday..... Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Our snow has meant the return of the red squirrels to the feeder in the garden! So lovely to see last year's kittens doing what mum taught them! 1 Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Bit fuzzy, but I was too excited to get a pic in case she didn't come back! 3 Quote

All we have is a very active pair of greys that are single-handed (double I suppose really) trying desperately to plant a thick walnut forest in my garden :angry: Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yes we have. I think the greys will have the edge on the Reds over the speed they work out the device as they have had lots of practice with feeders meant to keep them out, whereas reds are deliberately fed! Quote
