Snow……

My path down to the heath yesterday – the men’s pond looking very bleak and uninviting, snow on some of the willows which, bizarrely, have still not lost their leaves – and a stream hiding beneath the snowy branches.

Closer to home, my garden – pond frozen over, Tawny Pipit and the patio furniture all blanketed in snow – and the view over my neighbours’ (including Mr Usmanov’s) gardens.

And for those who would like a moment’s quiet watching, here are the birds stoking up against the cold.

Finally a rather sad young fig tree who arrived yesterday having obviously got thoroughly chilled on the way. Do you think he will recover?…..
