Snow in The Cotswolds
A few flakes of snow fell on Broadway late Sunday afternoon, just a light dusting - not as much as forecast, well not so far. Snow adds a magical touch to The Cotswolds. Remember the snowy village scenes in the Bridget Jones films? They were filmed in the village of Snowshill, a pretty Cotswold village a couple of miles away from us on top of the Cotswold 
escarpment. But as the scenes were filmed in July they had to use artificial snow!
Snow last fell here during the first week of January and because of the extremely cold temperatures (-10 degrees centigrade at one stage) it lasted a couple of days before it melted away - just long enough to go sledging on the hill opposite. Our Dorset sheep, Lily (in the front of the photo), Abbie, Evie and Henry (at the back) didn’t seem to mind the snow either. Their compact woolly fleece certainly kept them warm.
