byslantedlightWe had more snow yesterday, though it dripped and dropped from the trees quickly enough in the sunshine - but last night the temperatures dropped, and according to the Uni of Cambs. Digital Technology Group who run a weather station on a roof in Cambridge, it's even now currently -6.8C! At 11am in the morning! With the sun out! It's never that cold here, even in the middle of the night with the sun in! *g* Apparently it was -13.8 at 7am this morning.
I knew it was cold when I glanced out the window and saw that the spider webs were all frosted up - and then went to collect the milk from the front doorstep...
The sheep are in the paddock (sorry - field!) across the road, and some seem to have been given bells - I love to hear them jangling around, it's a lovely sound!
I looked up and saw that the rooks had settled in their usual distant trees - but how much more stunning do they look in all this winter white! (You might have to click on that one to get the effect though, of them all dotted against the sky...)
Oh, I do like frost-on-snow, and proper dry winter's days, and... just - yeay! What I should really do is get my bum in gear and go for a walk... instead I might show you some pics I took on a brief but pretty walk yesterday too...
Yeay winter! *g*

They do groceries and things too, but I really just like the milk being delivered... and I persist in leaving them notes rolled up in the milk bottle if I need to cancel for a week too... *g*
