Outside My Cottage Sits This

snowbird in donkleywood
We went out for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day and returned to find this huge Snowbird sitting on the village green outside our cottage.
Our local sculptress and her partner created this on New Year's Eve, New Years Day and even the day after that. It is now surrounded by lanterns and has a candle underneath it so at night it looks amazing. The points on it's head are icicles and they still haven't melted so it goes to show how cold it is here.
Not many people get to see it as we are snowed in at the moment, not even the bin men who haven't been for 4 weeks. HELP!

I am so sorry you have had so much snow. I wish there was balance. WE need some of that moisture here, it is dry and sunny....
