I's the only one of it's kind round here (2 mins up the road from our farm) -the woodland is quite rare as it is mainly Elms (many got lost through Dutch elm disease back in the 80's) so it's WWF protected. The rest of this area is incredibly intensively farmed and is impenetrable -oh, and it's dead flat for me being girl from the Pennines!

Re: weather??
Fab pics Eric, I'm so envious! The cat's obviously in there because she is the colour of snow! And I assume the pink blob in pic 3 is your little JRT - took me a while to see her! Glad to see she's well wrapped up! - pink for a girl!
Here are some pics I took in 2009 - we had snow again last yr but couldn't be arsed to get the camera out.
From these you will see that our house overlooks a cemetery (that's the back of our house on the extreme left in pic 1) and also that we have a pretty creative snow sculptor somewhere about.
The fifth picture shows what I don't like about snow here - they chuck so much salt around it quickly turnsto grey slush.
Wonder what we'll get this year? only one mild frost so far.

Scotch it is then ... Have to wait for some real cold weather before the ice fishing starts ... I fish in the Bay of Quinte ... Injun territory I love fishing ... you know what they say: "Give a man a fish, and he can eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat all day, drinking beer." Well, he will if he is Canadian

If your cats are anything like mine they won't go anywhere near the outdoors while there's snow about.

Mine tip-toe in it and keep shaking their paws in disgust at the cold and wet!

I know ... the result wasn't unexpected .... but it was a great game. There's no shortage of excitement in a Grey Cup Final ... It's a great game. What would you rather watch, Sunderland vs Wigan, or the Eskimos against the Stamps in a play-off How do I get the scotch to you ... it's too far to drive. Pity you can't e-mail booze.
