The beast from the east returned this week (18th March 2018) with a vengence and dumped around a foot of snow on Totnes and the surrouding areas. We were very much caught by surprise at the rate at which the snow fell on Sunday - it covered the ground and within about 3 hours the world was obliterated by the white stuff. This snow was much larger flakes that the previous blizzard from 2 weeks ago, and although it was cold, the ground remainded soft under foot. We struggled to get around for Sunday and Monday, but on Tuesday the thaw began and we managed to put the Dart and Tamar yurt up ready for our first guests at easter. The rumour is that we may even get another covering of snow then too - I have decided that I dislike snow a great deal. Its so disrputive for the animals, and people alike and although its pretty its treacherous for anyone attempting to drive in the lanes. Last weekend saw some intrepid guests in our shepherds hut, they left on Sunday morning just before the blizzard struck, I hope they made it home safely!!!
