Winter picnic

Leaving of pot of leek and potato simmering away on the stove, we ventured out to have a walk down to the river. Noah took a rare and precious nap on the way back, and so the rest of us went straight into the garden for some of the now ready soup.
The girls sat on the foundations of the igloo, and we had a go at building it up a bit, but the snow is still a bit too powdery, so it will be done in stages. But it will be done.
