From our window, everything was white – the front yard, the stone fence, the footpath, the park…

I went out straight away to explore. Luckily the fresh snow wasn’t slippery, yet. The B&B and the hillside behind looked like a classic Christmas scene.

The River Derwent flowed in the gully below. On a summer’s day, it would be a nice place to sit, but not on a frozen, snowy day.

Still, there were many details to savour – snow on the branches and trunks, for example.

Snow on the leaves and ground cover.

It was all so fascinating for me, even if it was freezing cold, so it won’t surprise you that I have plenty more snow scenes to share.
