SNOW
It was falling when we took our first walk at 8.30 am this morning, soft little flakes that couldn't possible settle, or so we thought!!
But they did, and settle well, and by the time
we took our second walk at 1.20 p.m there were four inches of nicely powdered snow, in thick drifts, just longing for one's footstep to be imprinted upon their brilliant whiteness!
But the snow's depth concealed kerb-stones and dips and holes along our pathway and we nearly tumbled on occasion, but we extricated ourselves with great care, and enjoyed our walk.
Alice was positively drenched with snow flakes, her paws deeply encrusted, and her coal-black nose, shiny wet.
Her tail wagged continuously!
Branches littered and bending....
Pretty trees silhouetted against buildings
"How lovely the trees look" quipped a perfect strange and he was so right......
So I thought you might like to see how we've fared today......
and very lightly indeed, compared to South Wales.
Goodness knows, how slippery the pathways will be for Alice's walk tomorrow, after the predicted frosted conditions we are to have tonight.
So now Alice and I have been out for three good-ish walks today, and the dear SO has just gone out again, for a short spell, before it gets too late. But it's stopped snowing, it's 9.45 pm and we sitting comfortably on the sofa watching Sense and Sensibility on the TV. Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet star in the version we're watching and I must tell you, it's a firm favourite of mine
Just love Jane Austen's works...........

PS the dear SO has just declared that out of our eighteen coat hooks, he has but two for his own use.....silly man. I cannot imagine that he is correct, can you?
