27th January, 2013...the snow has gone from Furness Abbey!

Twelve noon, 7 degrees Celsius and not a flake of snow left...just a few abandoned sledges!

It's quite a bright and breezy day actually, with a few snippets of blue sky amongst the more purple colours!

It did rain heavily last night, so once again (along with the snow melt), the Red River is up, and it's very muddy down here. We didn't stay long today actually, because Frankie took a tumble in the mud, and got into a bit of a sulk with himself! All I could think of was getting his coat washed and dried in time for school tomorrow!

We managed to get a few nice bird shots, and we are keeping a close eye on that one daffodil that seems ready to open at any minute!!

It's not the same robin each time!! Wherever we go, another one appears, they are very territorial, and come over to see who is on their patch!

Oh well!! A quiet week at work I hope, after all the snow panic of last week!
