Two cold walks

We have had two walks this Easter weekend.  On Easter Sunday we went over to Holmfirth to meet with Mary, Stewart, Reg and Maggie, for a pub lunch and a snowy walk around Holmfirth.  The weather was beautiful, but of course cold.  Mostly snow-free underfoot but with some significant drifts that we had to negotiate.  When the drifts enable you to step over the wall rather than use the stiles, it's quite drifty.  It was a great walk, but Marisca got cold and unhappy for the last half mile.

Somehow we didn't quite learn from that, and went out for a short walk around Ogden reservoir today.  It was significantly colder and less pleasant - no warming sun out - and it was an all-round failure of a walk.  We made it across the dam through grim determination, and I took these lovely photos to remind us of what fun both children were having.




We then came home and stayed home for the rest of the day!
