It snowed!
The Forest is so pretty in the snow and Missy is loving it. We did not get very much ,although they are still forecasting more.

Birdwatching Again
Its been a while since I updated the blog. I seem to have a lot of problems with blogspot.
We are back birdwatching now that the Autumn has arrived and the Forest is less busy. We have been very lucky to find a familly of Woodpeckers that allow us to get very close. Whilst we are waiting for them to arrive we have a variety of tits , chaffinches and nuthatches to entertain us. Some of the Ponies and squirrels are a bit of a pest as they steal the food. If a pony finds it , it is all gone with one mouthful. The squirrels are less greedy and are very entertaining.

Houghton Lodge
Yesterday we decided to go to Houghton Lodge.
An 18th Century Grade ΙΙ* listed Gothic Cottage Orné, idyllically set above the tranquil waters of the River Test. The House is set in extensive grounds, with fine trees and lawns sweeping down to the banks of the River.It was a sunny afternoon although a little breezy. It was good to see so many butterflies on the flowers and we had an enjoyable outing.
There is a small self servic cafe. You make your own tea and help yourself to the delicious homemade cakes.
