Unusually for us in the south west we were hit by a couple of inches of snow last week, this certainly changed the appearance of Godney Aquaponics! With a coating of the white stuff the polytunnel felt to be a very different place - eerily quiet and with subdued light as the snow formed a kind of blanket which engulfed the plastic.
Out in the fields the blanket stretched across...
The hens weren't too keen and they didn't venture out, not much chance of working outside - I was certainly very pleased I had my nice warm potting shed - the sowing of salads must go on - still very much on the menu amongst the roasts and soups at the Sheppey Inn!
The snowy conditions didn't last for long and after a day the thaw began with a sprinkling left on the fields and defining the lynchets on Glastonbury Tor.
As the grass started to appear the girls began to investigate this unusual white blanket, a first time for many of them.
And before too long it was life as normal and just a few puddles left, perfect for spuddling in.
