And then there was snow...


We haven't had snow like this in England in November as long as I can remember.  Down to minus 20 in some places and eight inches of snow expected in the next 24 hours. 

I know it is nothing like you get in other parts of the world, but somehow snow seems to always take us by surprise here.  On the news they keep talking about the travel chaos everywhere, but I am secretly happy about the quiet magic that falls over the countryside when snow comes. 

We shuffled downstairs early this morning, before the rest of the world woke up, and sat with steaming mugs of tea looking out over the whiteness.

What's the weather like where you are today?

  6. I just left the snow and am now back (less than a two-hour drive) home where we are around 65 degrees. We are so used to 75+ that you would think it is snowing here though!

  9. I love snow! Your photos are great and I love the beautiful views from your studio and attic. We had a little snow on Thanksgiving morning but it was gone by late afternoon.

  10. I can't wait for the snow - we've had nothing at all yet ... i love the quietness of it falling, love having pajama days at home with big cups of hot chocolate and it being all white outside. Enjoy !

  11. Stunning and so foreign. The humidity here is pushing 100%, the air is still and heavy and pushing the keyboard brings on a sweat. Just one snowflake in a glass of water would be lovely. The lagoon is glassy and promising clouds loom black on the horizon. My world is silver and gold and purple, have a look at last nights sunset on my blog. Enjoy the wonderland.

  13. Lovely photos of your garden & views, thanks so much for sharing with us all.
    This morning, where I am in So. California, it was 41F or 6C (if I remember my conversion correctly!). Pretty chilly for us these days. Your 'travel chaos' sounds familiar...for us it's when we get some good rain! It seems so long between decent rainfall, that it's the only thing on the news - "STORM WATCH 2010!!!!". lol
    Enjoy those views & have a cuppa for me. :^)

  14. You live in a beautiful place. I always enjoy how everything looks after the fallen snow. Here in NY we haven't had anything but a few flurries.
