Snow - Day 7

I wonder what was making tracks in the snow on my lawn? I suspect the amorous pigeons who haven't been put off by the sub-zero temperatures during the vast majority of the day. A quiet day watching tennis this morning and chatting to a couple of my sisters this afternoon. The talk among family and friends is over who's had the jab / invite!

Day 334 / Day 39 of Lockdown 3 (for my record only)
