More Snow

The dark blue velvety sky at twilight highlighted the snow making it dazzling. More snow came overnight adding an other layer. Apart from one starling on the edge of the roof no other birds to be seen.

Crunch.

Snow showers are here and they are not to bad. The roads are clear but not the pavements ! But they are walkable and it’s nice to hear the crunch underfoot.

Still Standing

Crunchy underfoot, not a lot of snow but enough. The snow highlighting the trees and everything around very pretty. The daffodils in the garden are still standing tall and proud.

Repeat

* snow sunshine sleet* repeat from * to * until the end of the day , then cold , ice for the night.

A Sunday Afternoon.

The frost highlighted the brown of the churned up earth in the fields. A bird flew past with some goodies in its beak, not sure if it was nesting material or food. Primroses dotted along the banks near a stream which was was so still and silent.  Deers in the distant running to find cover, then came to a second second herd of deer sitting in the sunshine and grazing quite happily. The sun so low and bright a chilly wind , but a gorgeous day to be out and about.

Woke up to a apricot sunrise and birds squabbling on the roof, wonder if it was the magpies?

Really Cold.

The roads were gritted last night as we were told it was going to snow be icy etc but woke up to a frost and snow free morning , but it’s really really cold.

Sunglasses

A very bright but cold day, the sun was so bright you had to wear sunglasses! The weather prophets are saying snow is on the way heard it all before one minute it’s only going to a sprinkling then the next minute a blizzard.
A bright and frosty night no need for sunglasses , but the stars are twinkling so bright you may want to wear sunglasses!

Sprang

The local pond was teeming with wild life, ducks moorhens seagulls geese and swans. A clump of daffodils suddenly sprang up in the back lawn .

Moon.

Looking at the moon so perfect in its crescent shape giving a soft glow to a dark rainy night .

Treasures.

Went away for the weekend . Saw a heron poised ready to get a fish. Loads of pregnant sheep. Walked along the coastline in brilliant sunshine lovely and warm the sea was just gentle waves and the seagulls were as happy as sand boys. Children with their buckets looking in the rock pools trying to find treasures

Bin Day

Cleaning up the front garden after bin day, I seem to get all the leftover rubbish, a thrush sat on the fence waiting for me to finish so it could have a good look in the garden for any grubs bugs worms that I disturbed, saved him a job!

A Chat With A Robin

The robin looked at me I looked at the robin, with his head on one side he chirruped so I said good morning how are you? He replied with an other chirrup and I guessed he said he was very well. His beautiful little beady eyes were darting to and fro as to say I must be going I got lots to do. So I said bye nice having a chat with you . With that he flew off.

Welcomed.

Light mauve crocuses, brightly coloured polyanthas in many colours adorned the gardens as I walked by, bringing a much welcomed splash of colour to the grey and dismal day.

A short sharp snow shower a matter of a minute or two, makes it extra special at the coast totally different. Then hailstones then blue skies and sunshine . Yes I writing about the weather again ! Boring !

Crab and Seagulls.

Watching a crab in a rock pool just marvelling at the way it uses it claws as it climbs from rock to rock. Overhead the seagulls ride the thermals so effortlessly. Beautiful day to be out.

Green Velvet.

The daffodils are coming through the front lawn , hopefully they will give a good show. Notice the big beech tree has got a couple of nests in the branches but think they are last years one. Lichen is growing steadily on its trunk, green velvet

Competition

The magical song of the song thrush at daybreak,in the background the rumble of the traffic as it goes  in competition. The song thrush wins !

Old

Ssh! A quick mention of you know what ! Good drying of you know what!
A blackbird couple have made a nest in the hedge near the apple tree. Blue tits in the apple tree , blackbirds in the hedge , robins in the conifer tree, I am a happy bunny, but need to be on cat patrol not my cats they prefer to stay in and I work out how old they are 20 ! All 3 are still lovely as ever .

No Mention

No mention of the weather or the state of the sky etc. But it was a good drying day for the towels!
The local pond has been filled up now due to work done on it. It’s now got the swans back the Canadian geese back and the ducks back, really happy a lovely sight. And the bridge over it has been mended it is wooden and it rotted away and the replacement is wooden again and hopefully it will last for a very long time.

What a difference a few hours make in an day with the weather, blue skies coming between the clouds a watery yellow sunshine but dry and still cold.
But enough about the weather it’s getting boring now!

Cold.

Leaden dark grey clouds, whirling big fat snowflakes which aren’t laying cold as I don’t know what . The cat that doesn’t usually sit on my lap is sitting on it! Don’t know why not complaining.

Whatever the weather wants!

More rain, ice ,sleet, and whatever the weather wants to send down, but hey this is Great Britain !

Catch me if you can

The blackbird on the fence is playing catch me if you can with next doors cat and as soon as the cat gets close the blackbird flies of laughing.
The clouds are having a race with each other they are going so fast.
