Rudolph you were lovely

snow, sun, shadow, sandstone

Not much snow here under the bridge but its deep everywhere else. So it was leave the car at home, put on a rucksack and do an 8 mile round trip to the meat man who had some wild venison in.

However heading back with a large haunch of venison and a whole oxtail on my back didnt feel like such a good idea... mind you now the venison is safely inside us all with a rich shallot and stock gravy and lashings of home made roasties with freshly baked bread I can safely say it was worth it :-)
