Good morning all.

Just a short stroll around the area this morning down towards farm building unchanged for several centuries. To prove time really stood still there is an old clock on the building in the background stuck at 8.30 probably stopped many years ago.

Some sheep on the hillside were quite startled by our presence.

Snowdrops appearing through the receding snow just need a bit of brightness to perk them up (don't we all!)

Last year's nest sitting in the hawthorn bush. If you zoom in you can see what look like chicks crying for food but are actually seed kernels.

With the cold wind blowing from the NE Old Father Time standing stoically in the very cold conditions.
