More snow and collecting our trailer

We have had snow at the house for a few days now, it all looked very pretty this morning. We have not had this much settle on the drive before.

Despite the snow, we got out ok to fetch our new trailer. We will use it to transport the sheep to the abattoir as well as for various DIY type things, such as getting gravel from the quarry to do further work on the drive.
We looked at the tractors longingly, but cost aside, our land is just to steep for a tractor (unless you are semi suicidal french farmer with lifetime of experience behind you)

I have towed things before (boats) but not often. I feel I have just about got used to the giantness of the pickup, along with the rather limited view out the back, so having a trailer will be an interesting new challenge. It didn't cause any bother on the way home and I managed to get it round the bend in the drive ok - I was a bit worried as the car doesn't make it round in one so some reversing on the corner is involved (with steep drop behind).

It has a lid that fits over the top which hopefully should keep the sheep in.
