Bonhomme de Neige

The weather has gone bananas. We have had temperatures down to -12°c and SNOW!! Lots and lots of snow. 20cm of snow is a lot for here, it is after all the south of France not renowned for the quantity of snow that it gets! The wind has caused it to drift as well and it has made some beautiful sculptures. The local council snow plough has been right up the drive to the front of the barn to clear the snow which is great. That would never have happened in England, they have a massive plough on the front of a go anywhere Uni-mog four wheel drive thingy.

Lynda wanted a snowman so that's what we did yesterday morning, this morning you can just make out a large blob where he was as the snowfall overnight has completely covered him in new clothes. The cat is loving it as well leaping in and out of the drifts. To think it's spring in a fortnight, you wouldn't think so at the moment though. The sun is shining so maybe we will take a day off working on the house and go for a walk in the snow later.

From cold and sunny France have a great day.
