Watching for a snowflake

February 3, 2015

Garden pathSnow is quite rare in Cornwall and so a weather forecast with the possibility of snow left me excitedly watching for a snowflake. For days a chilly wind but no  hint of the white stuff apart on the BBC but yesterday as we worked in the garden at Ednovean Farm great white flakes began to fall swirling gently around us.

 

It was an emergency situation as far as the two cats, Spud and Louis, were concerned I spotted them gathered on the doorstep as the first flakes drifted down; their afternoon’s sunbathing abandoned they were waiting to be let in and they didn’t come out again until this morning!

First light revealed a tiny sprinkling of white around the garden although the hills behind Penzance across the bay were and intriguing patchwork of white and this afternoon I can still see those high lonely moors keeping the snow but alas the melt was swift here. I snatched a few photos at first light when I was feeding the horses to show you and a couple more as the sun came out after breakfast but that was the end of our snow and the cats have gone back to their sunbathing under the Date palms in the car park.
