Its only on high ground here at the moment, although that could change if the forcast is correct. Do the moo cows have to stop in ?

The Highland cattle and Longhorns up the lane from us stop out.

They are all "in" at the moment ie sheltered but never in fully enclosed barns as it would be unhygenic. Cows and calves grow thicker coats in winter and prefer colder to hotter weather. Very few of our animals are ever out at pasture, they have outdoor spaces but mostly these are not on grass - it's because of the very high price of land over here and the intensive farming techniques.

Well I got all excited this morning - our first real snow of the winter - but it's raining now and the snow's all gone

. Still it was nice while it lasted...

Looks like you made the right decision -it's so pretty to watch snow falling through the window, preferably in comfort - with a steaming mug of something comforting in hand

Today in Pictures. Stuff doing its best, in poor conditions, on a walk around the park today.

And with that shopping beckoned.

Today in Pictures, a traipse up Pendle Hill,....reaching the top it was off with the rucksack, out with the tent, the pans, the sink, the pink high heals and the sou'wester, the number of accessories you can get for Barbie today is outstanding.

1. I am following an old cart track to the Craggs.
2. The number of dry stone walls is vast, what happens when it rains ?
3. We are veering off to the left here.
4. Who would live in a place like this.
5. Almost at the highest point for today.
6. The hills appear to go on forever.
7. Still pockets of the white stuff.
8. I would guess at a Shepard's refuge.
9. We are now going to walk on the ridge till we fall off at the end.
10. Someone is watching the radio controlled gliders.
