White Stuff




Hey! What a fantastic morning. There was a dusting of snow over night, and a freeze, plus Dad has the day off. So we all took off to Challock Forest to enjoy the white stuff. Here are a couple of pics to give you some idea. I love the one of me at speed!
Challock was fairly cold but not too windy, so we strolled around for an hour and a half, taking in the Cloud Chamber and the Millennium Yew walkway (actually a sculpture made (planted) in year 2000 by an artist called Lukasz Skapski as part of the Stour Valley Arts project. The avenue lines up with where the sun will rise in year 3000, but I probably won't be around to see it!). Dad had brought the long lens, hoping to get shots of the fallow deer, but although we saw tracks, we didn't even get a sniff of a deer
No matter, it was great fun charging around in the snow, especially as, being a weekday, there was no-one about (just a few human and dog tracks to show we weren't alone out there), so it was nice and quiet. We could creep about in silent stealth pretending to be steely-eyed killers, or romp about like eejits. Megan and Haggis showed me how to roll about on your back and make snow angels westie-style
I love that place
