Footprints in the snow

The meterological experts said the snow would not reach our corner of the UK, so it was with some excitement that we saw the snow falling this morning.  

It settled and snowed again; quite heavily,  this afternoon. Armed with Ian's Nikon we drove down to Shoreham Village to take some snowy photos, only to be greeted by greyness and sludge, but no snow.  

We visited the Hop Shop and did a bit of Xmas shopping and then drove on to the Vineyard where I was able to have a couple of glasses as I was not driving.  

There  was no snow on the roads but back home we saw that the snow here had not melted and the chicken field was gleaming white against the dark sky.
