Whiteout

The Big Freeze continues. There was more snow today. We walked from Ashburton to the top of Dartmoor - about three hundred metres climbing. Well, it's a good way of saving on the heating - no need to put it on if you're out sweating all day. At the top there were lots of lovely snow drifts - about two feet thick.

Let it snow

As I write, the snow is falling and Ashburton is eerily quiet. No cars, just the muffled squeaks of boots on snow, and the shouts of children playing. There are snowball fights in the middle of the main street which is usually clogged with cars. It's rather lovely.
