Blue
skies have been replaced by low grey stratus. A few stray snowflakes come
down diffidently, like white mosquitoes on the prowl. Netherton
Hall, which dates from the 18th century, is probably the third
hall to stand on the top of the slope, overlooking Coxley Woods.
For
a change, the Welsh pones are grazing up the field instead
of hanging around in their muddy corner but then the brown one spots something
and whinnies; it's feeding time.
There's
not much in the way of bird life, just the odd pigeon
going about its business over the wood but this morning we had a great
spotted woodpecker in the crab apple tree. It usually flies over
our garden.
