Yesterday I went to Trevaskis Farm ay Hayle, Cornwall for lunch. It's a twenty five mile drive from Newquay. It rarely snows in Cornwall, but Friday night it snowed and on Saturday morning we all awoke to the stunning sight of the coast, cliffs and beaches covered in snow.
But that almost paled into significance when we set off from Newquay and drove through the white covered fields, lined with snow covered hedges and trees.
Quite a lot of the higher branches of the tress meet overhead on the narrow winding country lanes, and it was quite simply a magical experience to drive under them; all of them covered in snow and ice. All sparkling in the early afternoon sunshine, as if nature had bestowed on them millions of diamonds.
I felt like a winter's bride on a sleigh ride! Woot, woot !!
I won't forget that drive. It was the highlight of the day.
