Memories of snowball fights, building snowmen and sledging come flooding back. The whole world seems more serene; the hustle and bustle muffled by a fluffy white blanket.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been the main topic of conversation in the office today, with most of our weekends consisting of walks in the snow or snuggled up in front of the fire watching Christmas films. Despite the weather, we all made it to work and we\u2019ve been welcomed by the most beautiful views. Our office and showrooms have plenty of windows, to give you a great vantage point wherever you are in the mill.<\/p>\n<p>Our talented photographer, Tim, was out in the grounds early this morning, and the pictures are so stunning we had to share them with you. Our favourites are below.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Snow-DSC_5148.jpg\"><ul
