spring?

Usually we miss the worst of the weather on the Wirral,I think the welsh mountains protect us from some and we live near the Dee marshes so are quite low down which also saves us from a lot,but this latest lot of snow and wind has more than made up for it!Chickens refused to come out of their coop today so comforted them with warm porridge and apple.The cats have run out to attend to their toilet needs and bolted back in,and Poppy the terrier has been content near the fire.Lily the whippet however is entranced by it and has run round the garden in sweeping circles scooping up snow to eat,finally being persuaded in each time shivering with cold!truly a dog of very little brain!
Heres to the thaw!!

Alfresco dining anyone?
