Well, it's been a cold and snowy December.

We're just not used to this kind of weather in this part of the world as early as this.

December 16th to 18th 2010.

 

The greenhouse looked a bit whiter than usual when I got up this morning.

The patio looked decidedly chilly, too.

My car wing mirror said it all.

Unfortunately, one local motorist had already slid into the stream in our village.

Here he is being pulled out.

Up the little lane behind the Great House and its pony breakfast time.

Er, sorry, no sugar cubes in my pockets.

Those sad eyes and hungry expression...

I walked up as far as the pylon but then decided to return due to the increasingly heavy snow.
Looking ever more wintry in the field.

Someone has the right idea.

Just a car, tree and a house.

 

The Great House; always looks good.
Early the next morning, I could barely see our cars under a further 5 inches of snow.

The view through our dining room window towards Bridgend.

Just across from our house, the early morning light.

The ponies are still there in the cold; seen through the gate.
Just a suggestion of sunshine. It's 8am.

Still no sugar cubes.

Seen from our back garden as a mist arises.

The Orchard, where I used to live. Seen from the Downs.

Even trees take on a magical look.

A blackbird wondering where all the worms have gone.

Jean and I take a walk into Cowbridge to do some shopping.

The car shivers on the drive.

Another gate, some more trees.

Trees and snow; a winning combination.
Now, where is that Ski shop in Cowbridge?

The High Street takes on a very wintry look.

A quick foray into the graveyard in search of creativity...

The lone soldier in front of the Town Hall has an extra deep hat: of snow.

and finally, my absolute favourite pic of the morning: this couple are taking their tree home on a sledge and the lady is carrying mistletoe:

Happy Christmas to all my viewers.
