.and so ends the Big Freeze!

After almost a month of freezing weather where almost a foot of snow fell, it's finally over. Just one night of heavy rain and the snow has almost gone and floods have taken their place.

This is the longest cold snap since the famous 1963 six week big freeze.

I cant think many times in history our whole island from Lands' End to John o'Groats has been covered in snow.

This is Brodie at seven months - the ugly duckling I was so concerned about has turned into a beautiful black and tan swan!

The Big Freeze!

It has now been below freezing for nearly three weeks, this is unpresidented in the South of England but even more amazing is that in these last few days the whole of the UK has been experiencing the same weather - unbelievable! The whole of England Scotland and Wales is white with snow!
