The snow has gone now and has been replaced by wet and windy weather. Before the snow finally disappeared we walked across the local fields just a street and a half away from home. It's good to have so much open space between us and the city centre.
It was a beautiful sunny day even though it was cold.
There are lots of horses in paddocks up on the fields.
Signs of people coming to feed the livestock.
A view to the city centre.
Talking of the city centre we decided, once the snow had gone, to visit the Potteries Museum to look at an exhibition of wildlife photography by local amateur photographers. There were some stunning photos. No photos taken because of copyright but also because there were tables in the gallery ready for children to make clay sheep.
We had a cup of coffee and went to look at the Spitfire Gallery as well as the Staffordshire Hoard exhibition and the art gallery. The two photos above are taken through windows either side of the gallery to the front and rear of the museum.
As we were leaving we spotted two large Herdwick sheep with their lambs in a pram. They were performers called Flock from the Bread and Butter Theatre Company. Heidi and Henrietta Herdwick were very popular with visitors. Here is a - link - to more photos of Flock.
When we got home Mrs Fox came for a visit. It was a joy to see her peeping through the hedge. I think there will be fox cubs again this year.
At least whilst it is wet and windy I've had plenty of books to read.
I realised I'd missed a Louise Penny book and had recently read her latest one 'A World of Curiosities' before the one above.
All for now. Take care in the dismal weather, let's hope for more Springlike weather soon.
