Day 17 - January 17th

Today was the first opportunity we have had to take Millie for a long walk over the fields this year, so after a brief 15 minute flurry of snowflakes (which didn't settle) we wrapped up and braved the cold.

After temperatures dropped to below zero last night the puddles were covered in thick layers of ice.

Where vehicles and other people had walked the ice had been smashed and lay like shattered glass.

I couldn't resist crunching through some of the ice too.

Despite the chill, on our way home the sun came out and the sky was brilliant blue colour.
