The back garden on Wednesday. We had even more snow after I took this! I read somewhere that, with the exception of Scotland, our area was/is the worst affected in the country. Don't know how true that is, but it's now a week later and if we hadn't cleared the path it would still be there. The road outside is like an ice rink, there are no buses running round the village - main roads only, and we still haven't had any post. I know that no post does mean that at least there are no bills but it also means that my rollers haven't arrived either... :-(
This next photo are ice crystals. I took this at work; above these is about 8 inches of snow that is v.e.r.y slowly melting and this is the result. Aren't they pretty? I must look for a small tripod though - out of half a dozen photo's I took this is the only one in focus.....
And this is the Chesterfield Canal. Frozen solid. Loving the reflections but the boat isn't going to be doing Santa trips again this weekend! Santa's "grotty" in the visitor centre isn't quite the same as meeting Santa on the boat.
And finally Alphie..... after discovering snow for the first time. Very funny! He ran in like that and then tried to catch and eat the snow as it fell off him! Florence? Well, she hates snow almost as much as she hates rain, so refused to go out until we'd cleared the path for her!
That's all except to ask something of you if you live in the UK... When you make/buy/write your Christmas cards, please make/buy/write and extra one and send it to:
"A Hero", Headley Court Military Hospital, Headley Court, Headley, Epsom,Surrey, KT18 6JNThese guys have been defending our freedom and been injured whilst doing so. Please remember them this Christmas and send them a card as Thanks. My DH also suggests that you cold send one to "A soldier" BFPO, Afghanistan and it would find a soldier currently serving under awful conditions and just remind them that we think of them. (And I use "guys" generically - they could be male or female)
If you are reading this blog from another country please do something similar for a soldier serving in your own military. Thank you. Speak soon. Jude.x
