We travelled for several days through assorted temperatures that went from mild & grey, cold & grey, cold & sunny to a warm & sunny....
We saw swans flying overhead, a fox hunting in a snowy field, deer feeding just off the motorway and wild boar munching something, who knows what...
Hoar frost, fog, sunshine, it was not boring!
On arrival at our chalet there was no need to dig in as there has not yet been much snow (for a change) and the entrance + patio are now cleared of the slight covering and we are ready for guests.
I finished my art journal journey page (Facebook group) where the post was: Fall/ winter/ spring/ summer. Seasons. Create a list of things you love about this season. Technique: rubbing. Quote: all seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within .
