Good morning, peeps!
We have a pink sky with some blustery heavy dark clouds scudding across it here in S Glos this morning. It's not cold, but it definitely looks as if we're in for a bit of stormy weather today.
Like the rest of the UK, we have a forecast of colder weather as the week progresses, with maybe some snow by the weekend. I know those of you living further north won't be looking forward to that, but it's been six years since we've seen snow here, and I would LOVE to have a little bit!
Of course that's not practical for me at all, as I'm pretty wobbly on my feet at the best of times, and in fact the last time we had snow here I went out to top up the bird feeders, slipped and fell, and broke my ankle quite badly ("unzipped" it three-quarters of the way around, bones sticking out, the works). To make matters worse, as I had only expected to be outside for a minute or two, I was just in my dressing gown! Not ideal when it's -11 degrees and the snow's coming down.
So, if it does snow here the family have banned me from setting foot outside the door, but I would love to see some falling in the garden for a day or two, even if I can only watch it with my nose pressed against the windows.
(I love that sort of snow that's perfect for snowballs, which 'squeaks' as you walk on it. And the sort that blows into spectacularly shaped drifts. And when I was a child I used to find it so exciting to go into the fields and find all the animal tracks from the day/night before. Sigh...)
Ah well, I expect we'll just get rain, as usual.
Big hugs to everyone xxx
