17 centimeters of snow fell on Les Bassacs yesterday - I rushed out to measure it - the most snow we have had here since 1993. David and I always try to be first to make our tracks in the virgin snow. This time we were beaten to it by our neighbour Robert who walks his dog at 6 a.m.
On our walk it was still gently snowing, there was little sign of wildlife, a few birds flitting around searching for food and the beautiful almost invisible trace of a hare which had made its way through the cherry orchard below Croagnes.
