Good afternoon
Just sitting down to a late lunch whilst a batch of bread rolls cooks in the oven.
Its been very much a home day today whilst I wait in for a parcel to be delivered - a vague sometime after 11 was the only time I was given!
No sooner had I posted yesterday, then the skies darken and snow began to fall. Not enough for snowmen or snowball fighting but enough to make the world sparkle.
This was the view this morning from our conservatory;
Probably one of my favourite photos I've taken this year.
The Green Woodpecker has been a regular visitor to the garden for years - however he is very shy and I've struggled to get a decent picture of him. This morning I braved big sons room and sat at the open window and snapped away with my new toy.
Love the way Mr Woodpecker clears a patch of grass in his search for bugs in the ground.
I nipped into town first thing to do a post run and on the way back, I spotted the perfect picture. I quickly took my bike home and grabbed my camera.
The view over the frozen fields.
A frozen snow capped giant hogweed.
Then this picture - this is the one I had in mind :)
I also managed to tick many pictures from this months Scavenger Hunt list too but more on those at the end of the month - there's still quite a few that need hunting down.
I'd best be off - the rolls are nearly done and there's birthday presents that need wrapping for a certain persons 15th birthday tomorrow!
See you soon (probably with cake pictures!!)
