Walking with a few friends in the back garden yesterday. Best winter we have had in years. Another world up there and so beautiful. Severe wind chill (-8C) & strong winds but perfect snow conditions

Looking at this photo, now I realise that it's about time I got off my rear end and headed up into those lovely white snows. It's the best early season snowfall for quite some time, maybe 5+ years? Go...
