Like the sign on the road too VF  ;D
 
Yes, school was shut Mon and Tues here so kids enjoyed pulling straw bales on sledges to the animals, especially the downhill bits.

nothing here again, flurries on Tuesday but that was it. Was desperately hoping for the predicted snow to hit us last night so I could stay home and watch the tennis today but no luck

Well done Andy Murray by the way, people texted me the scores while I was at work  :thumbsup:

I have been sledging....






..... bales of hay & sacks of animal food!  It's much easier than carrying them, even if every other job seems harder!

Little Blue, in our last house we were at the top of a steep hill and if conditions were too bad I often used to park at the bottom and bring the weekly food shop up in the sledge - just had to remember and tie up the bags to stop the odd tin rolling back down the hill :innocent: and of course great fun sledging back down for the next load :excited:

I went skiing on Wed this week at the hermitage near Dunkeld. There was 14"-15" snow and the gorge and trees, Braan etc looked breathtaking.

Its great fun, only our paths are quite narrow and the corners tight, so there's no way of f getting up much speed without falling off (whether it's people, or hay bales!)

Just been out on my skis (trekking, free-heel). Snow was heavy and slow but great fun anyway, blue sky and sun  ;D. The collies found it hard going, there's about a foot of new snow with very little crust on, over the previous foot. Still, we're all better for getting out  :thumbsup:

Checked on the sheep while we were out - they're fine but not finding it easy to move about. Sensibly camped around the hayracks.

I'm planning on doing the same to our two and the boys. Should be a quiet night here  ;D

 ;D  yes, an effort here for Scout too, making big leaps to get about.  Nice quiet evening without her mooching at the tea table  :D
