\"Icicle<\/a><\/p>\n

I was up at 5.30 this morning. Not out of choice, but to pack the Small People and the husband off on a day long ski-trip organised by the school, hence the very early start!<\/p>\n

The temptation to go back to bed once they had gone was great, but I resisted! We had a bit of snow last night, and I could see a pinky\/orangey glow beginning to appear in one corner of the sky. So I got dressed, grabbed the camera, donned my wellies, and ventured out into the still slumbering wilderness…<\/p>\n

There’s something so special about being out and about when the rest of the world still seems to be asleep! I did spot a couple of farmers, and a snow-plough man (who almost ran me over), but once he had kindly gritted the path for me and disappeared up the road I was on my own. It was literally silent, and very very beautiful…<\/p>\n

I couldn’t do it every day, but I am so glad I didn’t go back to bed! Thank you Mother Nature for the most spectacular sun-rise, it put me in a good mood for the rest of the day!<\/p>\n
