Last night was stormy with wind gusts over 100km an hour. Heavy showers on and off. Early morning there was silence. I got out of bed, opened the curtain, and this is what I saw.

From the main house looking at the same bed and hills.

I took Beatrix to school on foot. Flurries of tiny hail were blown into our faces. Then before reaching the school, snowflakes started fluttering around us. Beatrix was wet, luckily I packed an extra warm jersey in her bag. To tell the truth, we could not find her raincoat, which wasn’t the best thing this morning.
