I had quite an adventure today. The snow is finally thawing in Sheffield so I decided to take the car out for a drive in the search of snow out in the peaks! It didn't take long to find some.....and then get stuck in it! I went to see the Alpaca Farm on the outskirts of Sheffield and managed to get stuck in the snow and ice and had to wait for a tractor to come and rescue me. It was all a little embarrassing but whilst I waited for the tractor to make it's way to the farm I had a wander round. Its' an amazing farm and the alpacas are beautiful creatures. I did take a few photos of them but I then came across 3 snow geese who really caught my eye. They weren't so pleased to see me and did spend most of the time "shouting" at me, don't think they were loving the camera! However the contrast between their orange beaks & webbed feet and their blue eyes next to their white feathers and the snow made for some really striking photos. Getting stuck in the snow had it's advantages. However I have learnt that my Yaris is not a 4x4 and maybe I should carry a shovel in the boot!I did take a photo of the tractor with my car but didn't post it as my photo of the day because I loved the one of the geese. However I thought I'd put it up here so you could see it with your own eyes. It doesn't look like the car is stuck but believe me it is all ice & slush and if I tried moving the car the wheels just went deeper into it! Nothing like an adventure on a cold Saturday.
