Wintry Scenes from Frosty England
A walk in my Buckinghamshire town
Anyone who’s living in the UK will know it’s been one of the warmest Decembers on record. I can’t remember it ever being 10 degrees centigrade outside in December.
This year, we’re able to graze the guinea pigs on the lawn for the first time ever over Christmas, and they’re loving it. We only need the heating on for 20 minutes in the morning because it’s so mild.
So why am I posting pictures of snow? Because we did have some lovely frost and snow last year, and I thought it was nice to share the photos anyway. Who knows, we might have snow again in January. And these pictures are all rather Christmassy.
So last December, we went for a walk on a frosty day.
Saw the sheep…
Visited St Mary’s Church…
Photographed interesting cobwebs and frosty scenes…
Everything was covered in a white frost…
Even the weeds and wildflowers…
Here’s my husband lagging behind.
I wrote a story about him lagging behind earlier this year. Half the readers were so offended on his behalf that I had to top and tail my piece with an explanation — it was supposed to be humorous and people should chill and not take everything so seriously! Read it here, if you like…
Here’s the frosty ground…
Ethereal wintry views across the landscape, in the mist…
Then came the proper snow! Husband got ahead of me here — he can get a little sprint on when he wants to! Just like the mother-in-law!
Within a few days it was like an ice rink and slippery everywhere. So we weren’t even going out. Here’s the view from the nature reserve…
And here’s the way home…
