Playing in the snow

I often say we live on the edge of the forest and I think this picture shows it more than most of my images.
The cold has returned and outdoor life has become far more comfortable. Our visitors spent a couple of hours building a "snow house. The chidren are nowhere to be seen here but they are in there. Florence is in the "house" and out of sight, and Eric is in his sling, in front of Isaac.
In their hours outside they were digging, building, stamping down snow, and snacking on nuts and fruit.
A short gentle sledging run has been produced in the garden and a wilder longer run in the field next to the house. Only Isaac has gone down there so far!
