I know, I know, I snow-picspammed you only a few days ago but today I walked down the canal to the estuary and it was so pretty.





Looking back towards the hill I took the last lot of pictures from.



The canal was frozen over and covered in a layer of slush. There were duck footprints all over it and in some places, pawprints. I think the foxes have been using it a risky shortcut.


So far this year these walking boots have climbed New Zealand mountains, walked on New Zealand beaches, climbed on Uluru, walked over the Australian outback, waded through mud in the grounds of a Buddhist temple and now, tramped all over British snow. They're doing pretty well.



The clouds closed in as we got to the estuary and I had time to get dripping wet taking pictures before we hid in the pub with hot chocolate for a bit. By the time we came out, it was blue sky and so pretty:








This swan stalked me until I ran away. I'm only small and they can break a man's arm you know. Haven't you seen Hot Fuzz?






Don't worry, it's warming up in the next few days (they're predicting 8C for Christmas Day *facepalm*) so I'll have to do proper posts instead of picspams. Alas! I have enjoyed our beautiful almost-Christmas snow. :D

I still need a snow/Xmas icon. Damn.

... I am so jealous. So insanely jealous. If I could I'd get on a train right this moment and be there and take photos because it's so pretty. It's freezing here and I get nothing. So unfair.

Oh, it looks so pretty! We also have like, a foot of snow, which is pretty but then annoying when I have to cancel plans since I daren't drive anywhere.

I'm also loving the usual British reaction - 'abandon your cars, give up all hope ye who get snowed on!'

And good work escaping the swan - I had a bad incident with one as a child, and now genuinely fear them!

Ahhh snow! I can't even comprehend that much snow. When it snows where I'm from maybe a cm will settle (or not at all) and it's gone in a couple of hours.

On the other hand, we've had 8C Christmases! My Dad can even remember one time it snowed here!

You have pretty snows. *nods* So glad I'm not there right now... :-D

".....they can break a man's arm you know."

Or blow up a man's house. Just be careful it didn't stalk you all the way home!
