Remember in 1991 when we had the wrong kind of snow for British Rail to keep the tracks clear, well I have the wrong kind of images for the image editing workshop! No seriously, amongst my 1,000’s of images - I never seem to have taken photos of interesting doorways, signs, vintage writing or wonderful faces. [...] […]
The weather here continues to be amazing. With glorious days, lots of sunshine (no coats needed). And clear, clear sky – meaning the night-time temperatures drop to about -7c The plants are confused – but I’m happy […]
Oh, the darling snowdrops! I can smell them from here, I’m sure I can. At the moment, of course, the only snowdrops I have are of the frozen water kind.

Hi, thanks all for lovely comments,
If my blog looks a bit strange to-day (3rd February 2010) I am doing my wordpress and theme upgrades – should be all done by tomorrow

Snowdrops make me feel hopeful for spring. I will have to wait another month and a half for mine.

I’m sorry that I’m not familiar with Brigid’s Day… however the snowdrop is lovely.
I hope to see mine in a month or so.
Karen,
Beautiful pearls that bring such promise of light, change and life after the stillness of winter.
Oh what fine fair maids of February.
