Yes 1/4" of ice on the buckets this morning and all the fields were completely white.

Beautifully starry though as I went out to milk this morning and it's been a great day since. Hope we get another one like it tomorrow

Oh no, snow is a bit much yet!

Did you have a good day at Carlisle today? Didn't see you but what with racing between sheep and poultry rings and encouraging Dad to buy sheep, was a bit manic

Frost in Carmarthenshire this morning

You must be in north Carmarthen. None in Ammanford
