\n\t\uf0a8 The snow bringing in less common bird visitors to our garden such as redwing, fieldfare and brambling.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\uf0a8 The atmosphere in the Wenvoe Arms on the Friday and Saturday when lots of families called in for drinks and food after time on the Wenvoe piste.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\uf0a8 My daughter’s garden snowball igloo that with a lighted candle inside looked magical after dusk.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\uf0a8 The lovely scenes on a walk in the snow to the Horse and Jockey on the Sunday.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDid any other readers see less common wildlife in their gardens during the snow?<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
