For the time being at least, we’re back to normal in Brighton and all the snow has disappeared.
The dogs loved the snow and had lots of fun rolling around in the white stuff making dramatic snow sprays like high speed skiers at the bottom of a piste, as they skidded to catch tennis balls.
A sadder consequence was the damage to our wonderful trees in Stanmer Woods where we walk. It was a scene of carnage in some areas as the weight of the snow caused many, many branches to collapse.
These ancient trees took a heavy hit and have had to be considerably cut back as a result. The dogs found the fresh sawdust very enticing, especially Georgie, the Retriever, who just had to have a roll!
Let’s hope there’s no more snow – or if there is that there’s no more damage to these stunning trees.

That kind of weather is unusual for your part of the world, isn’t it? It looks like the pups had a grand time. I’m sorry about the trees though. Mother Nature can be brutal sometimes.
I hope everyone survived none the worse for wear and that you can all get back to normal soon.

Every season has its pros and cons. Snow is beautiful, but after a while, one is ready for sunshine!
