Winter wonderland

I went off to work yesterday but the ground was solid and there was freezing fog .Back home via the coffee shop to pick up the camera.Everything looked different and rather strange.

Merry Christmas

Yes a VERY MERRY YULETIDE to all out there ,especially those who have to face snow like this. Keep cosy.

Festive Greetings and Eatings

A Very Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year to all those who put on stones around the festive season.

Winter

Winter is a coming in. It is quite a tricky time for walling especially when the sleet is pinging off your nose and you cant pick up the metal bar without gloves because your fingers would freeze to it. However there are times when the scene changes to a wonderland. The sun shines on the snow and you feel warm while working. This photo reminds me of a fantastic day when we rolled big snowballs to clear the ground then cut and laid turfs on the wall . Because it was so bright we actually finished off the job by moonlight. Whisky never tasted so good as on that evening.The grass grew happily and is still flourishing several years later.
