That's right, it's snowing in Normandy, last Friday we awoke to a light sprinkling but it started in earnest 2 days ago and hasn't really stopped since.
This is the earliest snowfall in the region that we have experienced in 14 years!
When DH braved the chill night air to take Mr Ben for his night time "tiddle time" on Monday this was the first thing we saw outside the front door. Quite pretty, n'est pas?
Luckily this man had called round that very afternoon, his tractor just managed to squeeze through our gates,
I'm linking our first snowfall to Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer and her Outdoor Wednesday gathering today, I wonder who else has had a snow day?
beautiful pictures, Maggie. I read that it was snowing hard in Paris. You received your firewood just in time!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't gotten any snow yet but the skies seem to threaten it all the time. Soon enough...
XO,

Oui, je suis d'accord que c'est tout tres jolie mais I'm supposed to be flying in to Roissy on Saturday for my Christmas markets and concert weekend and I am starting to m'inquieter!!
ReplyDeleteCalling by from Italy via Outdoor Wednesday as I have a blog hop around today's participants. Oh my goodness, snow in the Uk as well we heard today, winter certainly seems to have arrived early this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie,
ReplyDeleteThe snow does look pretty! I always love the first snowfall of the season. You captured some beautiful pictures. Hope all is going well with you.

Oh I do love snow (since we never get very much). Your photos are so pretty - love the topiary dusted with white. A load of firewood, a cozy stove and snow falling outside - just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThere's something magical about the first snow of the season - of which we have yet to have! Great photos, it looks so peaceful! Have a great week! Sandi
ReplyDeleteOh, Maggie, it does look like a snowy wonderland. I'm happy you all have a good supply of wood to enjoy a cozy fire. Put on the kettle and enjoy a cup of tea while you read a good book by that crackling fire.
ReplyDeleteStay warm ~ Sarah
