Whose snowy woods these are I think I know ....


I regularly do this Robert Frost poem with my students - like all his poems, there are so many meanings within it & it flows so easily. 



This week we woke to about 6 inches of snow in Shropshire & I love how quiet everything becomes. The familiar looks different, and the words 'stopping by woods", came to mind 




The little woods opposite us was a life saver in Covid restriction times & I love walking through them & down to our local lake. This is what we did in the freshly fallen snow.


The weight of the snow bent several trees, giving a tunnel effect with flakes drifting gently down. 

Our garden looked beautiful with the hedges white from the snow & our large topiary balls looking like Xmas  puddings with their white snow. 


The clear skies gave us some beautiful morning & night skies too with slithers of colour across the sky. The woods were a magical Narnia like place & it is always best to enjoy them. 

It is likely that we will have more snow over the coming winter & I hope I never tire of the child like wonder of it.

It is much appreciated.

Shropshire is blanketed in snow ...

Hi everyone

We have not had an decent snow falls for a few years so when snow was forecast, I was sceptical but on the weekend, while we were away down south, it arrived.

I could not wait to get home to enjoy it (they had nothing down south). I put on my trusty snow boots, 2 pairs of socks & headed out - snow if for enjoying!


Our county was like a magical wonderland ...


 A walk around our local lake ...



This was just so magical to walk along ...


Our county recorded the coldest temperature in the country for this winter ...


However, we were not deterred & still set out with our cameras ...




 The lovely Priory ruins at Much Wedlock  - home town to the modern Olympics



 A lovely door that looks so welcoming

Our local area in the snow ... 






My trusty boots did well this week - at times the snow has been thicker than the tops of my boots. However, they clung on to the slippery surfaces & allowed me to enjoy the snow all over town.


My walks over the 3 snow days ...


I took my hiking stick with me at all times & it was a great help in icy weather ...


A little video I took while we were driving to the local town of Much Wenlock - it looks like a fairy land ...


Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you have enjoyed our snow photos too.
