and it really is, too - nothing but grey as far as I can see. The
whole landscape is very bleak but various birds are popping around here
and there which cheers things up a bit. We had thought of going out
for lunch today but when Ray rang his daughter to suggest it, she said
she didn't think she or we would get through the lanes - sheet ice
everywhere. It was the same yesterday for a large part of the day, so
it looks like another afternoon in front of the fire and the telly.
Tsk! ;-)

Beautiful here today at breakfast time. Complete covering of snow, sun
just above the horizon shining through the trees, big gentle snowflakes
dropping steadily. And a flock of goldfinches in the birch trees.

The snow has now stopped and we have blue skies. I probably won't go out
as I have work to do here, but I'm just about to walk around the garden.
