Winter has come to our little Valley on The Mountain at last - we woke before sunrise to soft falling snow.
As the light grew, the rain set in, and a few hardy locals set out for the village.....
The snow and ice didn't stop the trains, but many of the roads from here out to the west are closed...
I approached my garden with trepidation, but my brave little cabbages and baby pea plants were standing their ground....
Even as Winter finally makes itself felt, Spring's first messengers have arrived.....
