Snow on the Hills

We woke up to snow on the hills today – no wonder it’s so cold. Our local hills are nowhere near as majestic as those that we saw on our South Island holiday, but they certainly look pretty with that sprinkling of snow.

There was another surprise for us this morning.  We live in a river valley and mist was swirling all around the river and the stop bank running alongside.  Many people were up and about in the morning walking their dogs along the bank and they seemed to disappear into the mist.

It was such a lovely morning, but the snow and the mist didn’t last too long.  The wintry sunshine soon sent them packing.
