“Walking in a winter wonderland”

“It is the life of the crystal, the
architect of the flake, the fire of the
frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This
crisp winter air is full of it.”

John Burnside

It’s been snowing all day, is snowing now and is forecast to do so all night! Tomorrow will be a cracker of a last day, and we need our beauty sleep. So here’s some photos of the day.

Happy ninetieth Pete!

  1. Loved the poem.
    Snow looks great! You look like the abominable snowman Jeff! The apres looks good too!

  2. “My legacy is a life well lived”.
    Wonderful photos Jeff, they capture the vim and vigour. The joyous smiles in your eyes window a deep happiness.

  3. Thanks Dave, much appreciated, and so it was, a great time.
    “What day is it?”, asked Pooh.
    “It’s today”, squeaked Piglet.
    “My favourite day”, said Pooh
