It is so cold at the moment that even walking on the snow is painful - when we got fed this morning it was easier to sit down to eat than stand on the frozen surface. We did all feel a lot warmer with some corn inside us though.
Yesterday was a white out in the garden - the snow did not stop from morning until night, about 10 - 12 inches - amazing. This morning the sky is blue and it looks truely lovey for miles.

| The snow on the back gate shows how much snow fell yesterday! |
The roads around seem to be moving today (yesterday they were not good!) and a few folk have ventured out to see us. Some of the staff here have had trouble getting off their drives and have not been able to get to work so there is a skeleton crew - but they are all mucking in to get the place up and running again.

| Marcus and Tom - who work in the Kitchen are helping move the snow |

| Mick drives the mini-digger which has a snow plough on the front - Matt lives on site and is kindly helping out! |

Some of the craft workshop holders have made it in today as they have customers coming for Christmas Presents - Belinda Terry and "From the Tree" are here and the others are doing their best to get in if they can. The car park is cleared at the front and the gift shop and restaurant will be open until at least 4pm.
