A world in white gets under way.....


Just a few photos of today's snow. ( Well, yesterday's really, as it's now Sunday morning. )


Sarah and I stopped in Hempstead ( a pretty local village ) on the way back from buying our Christmas tree. We crunched our way through the new snow, through the churchyard and out across the hillside, past the old well.



A few people were out sledging - looked a good laugh. We had a nose around inside the church, where local community groups had various decorated Christmas trees on display. We ended up in the Village Hall, with a bunch of old folks, for cups of tea, mince pies and carols. How Christmassy can you get?


On a sadder note, Sarah's Nan passed away yesterday. She was a lovely old lady and will be greatly missed.
How much crap can you take in one year? Roll on 2011.....
