Celebrating Winter

Justin took this picture on a winter walk in the Watagan Mountains, N.S.W. Although it is rare to experience snow in this region, the magic of this image reminded me of the animals we saw darting across the path to take refuge from the cold. Which brings me to the book we are currently reading to welcome the spirit of King Winter. 'Any Room for Me?' by Loek Koopmans is a gentle winter tale telling of the forest animals making a warm house in the woodcutters mitten. Available from Rudolf Steiner House, Sydney (02) 9264 5169
