Kind neighbours

are a true blessing

We have had nearly a week of snow and ice, and I've been unable to leave the house.

Neighbours have been checking to see if I needed anything, and one even came to the door.

 

Yes, I know those of you who live with snowy weather will laugh at such a tiny quantity, but we get so little snow here that we never know how to cope with it!

The bird is a pied wagtail.

He even bullies the robin :)

Snowy Sunrise

The front of our house faces roughly west.
I was looking out of the window about 9 o'clock this morning just as the sun was rising behind the house.
This is what I saw.

This was the view slightly to my right.

This was a short time later, taken between the two buildings on the far right of the previous photo. The hill is the island of Arranmore, and the houses are catching the glow of the newly risen sun.

I wouldn't mind if we had no more snow this winter, but it can certainly make things look very beautiful.

The Weekend in Black and White

We have had a week of unusually early winter. Normally our autumn hangs on past the end of November, and snow waits until after Christmas. This year is different!

I took this photo in our neighbour's garden last Sunday.

Just For Fun

Fur coats can be useful!

Different Colour

The scene when I opened the blinds this morning.

The wich-hazel has a blanket,

and the crocuses are spangled.

At least, a bit later, the icy snow seems to be melting.

I suppose that still makes it Spring.

Cold Fire

This was my garden yesterday. Now I know this is nothing to you people living in snowy areas, but for us - this is SNOW!My poor wee dragon had his daffodil stuck to his nose.

And the houses behind us had snow over their turf stacks.

Cold fire!
