First Snow of 2013

This morning saw the first snowfall of 2013 for us, though we suspect readers in the UK might be laughing at what we call a 'snowfall' after today's forecast for across the channel!

We drove over to Susan and Simon's, (more of this elsewhere, I guess, Susan?) travelling along La Ronde du Chêne...

 and past the frozen etangs....

Even a little bit of snow can look magical....

particularly with a tiny wren in the frame. (this last photo taken from Susan's kitchen window!)
