Sophie's Universe - TaDa!

Yay! Sophie's Universe blanket in all her glory. What on earth am I going to do now?

This was the sixth day of deep snow and frozen lochs and rivers, so I guess the old chap was trying his luck with suburban garden ponds. He does look fed up - and I'm sure he's thinking I should have put some fish and frogs out on the bird table! The picture's a bit grainy, because it was a very grey day and I was shooting through the window, but it is nice to...
