snow, gales, sunshine candlemas has been and gone, the snowdrops now at their best, though they started to poke through the leaf litter in early January and the snow has been and gone the first lot thawed almost as soon as it was down, rivulets pouring out of field drains pools lying on other less well-drained fields Cakes lane still flooded at its entry the snow freshens up the poor old browny-grey landscape at this end of winter and for a few hours or a day or so the reflected light is glorious every muddy lane is magically transformed into a pretty picture a scene I painted without snow suddenly demands rethinking but the temporary transformations soon dull to slush and mud.
