I love it, but hate it!
Just a smattering, seen through the conservatory window
It’s coming! It’s coming!
Run upstairs and look out of the window
Let’s check out the park
So pretty and ethereal
Not frozen- yet!
Water glistens on the tree
There I am, but look at that sky!
Droplets were melting and blowing off the trees
Just one romantic couple
Noone sitting on the benches today
A delicate snow bush
Over the hedge, the bowling green
No tea and cake in the pavilion today
The melancholy clock tower
You know what I’m talking about. Magical soft fat flakes that have me rushing out to play. Followed by grumpy Alice a day or two later, when it’s turned to a slippery grey skating rink.
Click on the first photo to see them in gallery form. It’s clever, isn’t it?

And here I am in the desert of Arizona, longing for a week or two in the snow….to hear the awesome silence, to feel the bright sting on my face, to fall down in the pillowy cushion … notice I said nothing about the treacherous driving or the dreary days of grey skies and melting muddy slush. Enjoy!

I’d swap, of course! I’m flying out to Portugal at teatime and the snow is inches deep so wish me luck.

I LOVE snow especially now since I’ve been inlove with snowboarding more than four years ago. I get sooo excited when I see snow falling, snow-capped peaks, and etc! Snow has kept my winter-blues away…

I wish I could wrap it up and send you ALL of it. The novelty has definitely worn off, but it was nice for a while.

I love the new galleries from WordPress, and you’ve utilized them well. But what I really like is your funny personality and how you keep it all real! Beautiful shots.
Take care, Jo

Thanks a lot, Elisa. I wasn’t too sure when the galleries came out, because I like to “walk people through” my posts. But now I’ve used it a time or two I can see the value, and it’s nice to be able to ring the changes (all thanks to WP with just a little effort from me)

I love you snowy pics and the snow – just so long as I don’t have to drive anywhere… 🙂 That sky looked menacing

Thanks, Suze. I think you’re getting much more than us at present? Keep safe. I’m off to Tavira on Saturday. I can just about wait! Got to do some serious catch up reading now as I’ve just done Jake’s.

I’ll give it my very best shot! Actually I’m in Tavira next weekend so the temps will be a little kinder than here, but nowhere near yours.

I know what you mean. I think snow is so beautiful, but it is also such a pain in the butt…. It would be great if it only snowed on weekend and was all clean and melted by Monday

My daughter has similar ideas, Hilary. She gets married in 3 weeks time and has requested snow on the rooftops and the grass verges, but not on the roads and pavements.

Its beautiful if I don’t have to be driving in it, but if I have to drive in it, then I’m one that didn’t like it the eight years we lived in Montana. It is so pristine and glistening 🙂
love all the pictures!

Thanks, Betty. Yes, I really worry if my son’s driving back to Leeds in it, but he’s very nonchalant. “Mam, I’ve been driving for 5 years now…”

Lovely pictures. I’m with you on the snow, I like it when it is snowing but then I want it to just go away.

I agree, I love the freshly fallen snow, but the grey slush that ends up on the paths days later is a total pain in the proverbial.
