I was going for a walk with my brother in law and our English Springer Spaniel Poppy, honestly I was, that was most definitely my intention when I left the house with my Discovery Td5!!. We did eventually go for a walk, but not before we did something that I hope all of you did or have done who own a four wheel drive vehicle when it has snowed or is snowing.

Poppy and I enjoy a walk that criss crosses between rolling hills and The Grand Union Canal near South Kilworth and it takes us only around seven minutes to drive there from our house before we are off to enjoy the beautiful landscape of this part of Leicestershire.

Today it took us over half an hour!!,why you ask, well it has snowed and I just had to go and drive a track that is sort of on the way to our walk. The track did not disappoint, as the snow had drifted between the gaps in the hedge leaving drifts that were a couple of feet deep in places, deep enough to enjoy without the risk of getting stuck. At the end of two miles of exhilarating fun, pushing our way through the drifts and enjoying a particularly interesting climb our Discovery had a snow filled front and our faces sported big smiles.

I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves in the snow too before the important things in the day had to be done.
