Many residents took full advantage of the snow day, heading to the beauty spots around the district (while keeping it local still, of course).

Gardens were adorned with snowmen, sledges were pulled down streets and family fun was had all around.

Oh, and of course, some light-hearted fun had to be made at the expense of these unprecedented times. Pupils at Skyswood definitely had the right idea...!

We've always known that living around these here parts isn't all that bad, with beauty around every corner. But isn't everything just that little bit more breathtaking when sprinkled with a dusting of snow?
