In the Bleak MidWinter

Since 17th December we've some sort of snow covering the ground/garden. It's the longest period of cold weather for some considerable time here - and locally we have managed to miss most of the heavy falls. I should imagine that we've only had in total about 5-6inches in that period, it's just that it has stuck around much longer than usual. We've ( Read more... )

Pretty!

It snowed here once.... Once.

A bit like Sunnydale?? Hee...

And I really thought when we moved here over thirteen years ago (quite a distance further north) that we would have snow all the time but alas we've had less than when we were in East Anglia.

It's amazing what a difference even a little snow will do - it was very sparkly in the evening with all the Christmas lights outside.

Hey matey,

I went sledging on the South Common on Saturday :) (We used shallow Ikea storage boxes and not one of them survived the afternoon! I gained a couple of impressive bruises from the lip of the box which form a continuous line across the backs of both my legs:)) It was fabulous - I spent the rest of the day on a giddy high! We were gutted when the rain came on Sunday and stopped the repeat performance we had planned. :(

Hey there sweetie!!! Shame we didn't see you - we had a flask of hot chocolate :) It was awesome wasn't it. Seems to be drizzling again now too so I don't think we'll get anymore

At one point John, Ozzie and Ellie were all sitting on the bodyboard and it would completely spin round and then continue on the run.

We too had a flask of hot chocolate - but ours was laced with alcohol - the perks of grown up sledging!;)

Tsk tsk you know alcohol and sledges just don't mix - I hope you had a designated driver ;)

I see we have more snow this morning - not sure if it'll last to the weekend though.

*HAPPY NEW YEAR*

Oh Andrea, the pix look lovely. I especially like the two last ones, really gorgeous, and the one with the lights; really Christamssey.

Hope you had a great Christmas and that Santa spoiled you LOTS *mwah*

FRIVVY !!!! hey babes how are you my dear? Happy New Year to you too !

Good Christmas thanks although I did eat far too much and spoilt by Santa too - We're a sucker for sparkly lights outside but we don't put them on the house just drape them in all the trees - and I don't like ones that flash.

*hugs you back*

Ooh nice pictures. I really love the Christmas lights one, gorgeous lighting on that one!

Thanks :) The snow just made them look even sparklier this year. It's usually just rains at Christmas!
