Winter - yay!

I woke to a white world yesterday morning; it was a boomer frost and I grabbed the camera to see what I could capture. A good frost is great for killing the garden pests and any wasps that might be surviving in the milder weather - and it's interesting to see the different ways that plants respond to the ice crystals.

A frosty driveway with the ice on some mud puddles thick enough for
me to stand on it



Not much warmer at 10am - I bought this minimum-maximum thermometer
from Magnamail; it sticks on to the outside of a window and resets the
min/max temperatures each day
