The Beast retreats

The Beast from the east has gone on  its way. Very soon all that's left will be water and mud...... although the roads were passable yesterday there was still quite a lot of snow - mainly on our drive....  Bugler enjoyed pretending to hunt for rabbits and mice in the long grass on the field edges. These are just a few shots of him being an out and out springer.... It'll be a shame - for the dogs- when the snow has all gone but I shall be pleased to be able to get out of our drive again..... If it were not for the remaining drifts, fallen branches and general debris all over the place it would be easy to forget just how very strong the wind was.
