Although I like in the wilds of Scotland, well that's the impression you'd get from the BBC's weather reports we've only had one minor road coving of snow all winter, but, If I drive as little as three miles it's like an Antartic landscape.
A couple of weeks ago the Graylag geese started to arrive and fill the fields as they do each " spring " poor sods are faced with frozen ground.
Although we are almost snow free it's VERY, VERY COLD due to the freezing wind.
