Last Saturday was mild and sunny. Now this scene greeted me in the morning.
There's a good few centimetres of snow on the grass and it's still coming down. I have plans to make the perfect beef stew (scroll down a bit) for dinner tonight to mark the arrival - finally - of winter. I do need to wander up to the shops later to get some ale to make it with, but what better on a day when I don't have to go to work? I might even get around to writing a few long-delayed blogposts - top of the list is a post about my trip to River Cottage HQ last year.
Jane - good luck on your endeavours and thanks for linking me on the Garden Rant piece!

All garden activities on hold! Not all, surely? Looks to me like you've got a grand snowballing arena there!

Despite all the hype the snow never materialised in Manchester. I was hoping for a sneaky day off work to fix my greenhouse battered by the storms!
