Ice Ice baby!

Snow disappearing rapidly today... but not before we had snapped this massive icicle which had formed above the back door. Gracie had one last manic zoom around the garden, getting herself completely immersed in the white stuff!

Winter has me in its grip

"Winter has me in it's grip, think I'll take a summer trip, on a sunny sailing ship where the shells lie in the sand..."

If only!

Some snow, in London... today

Some snow fell in London today. Apparently this was because it is winter. Traffic came to a standstill, airports were shut, everybody (yes, the whole population of that London mind) took the day off work. My grandchildren, led by their uncle, built a snowman in their back garden. Here it is. Its the one in the middle.
