Snow at Irchester

A sprinkling of snow fell in the night, and a little more joined it around breakfast time. The local farmers' market traders were are strugging to keep warm, but as the morning progressed most of the snow melted. I set off around Irchester Country Park for a run before lunch. Some of the paths still had a white sprinkling, but most were clear and all were 'runnable' with care. I wrapped up against the cold breeze, but was soon rewarded by the sight of a goldcrest, the uk's smallest (very sweet little) bird. There were quite a few birds about, varying in size from the little goldcrest to the magpies and crows. I ran for about 30minutes, up and down the paths. Snow permitting I'm looking forward to a long run tomorrow.
