Oh the magic of frost. Lovely photos!
ReplyDelete(Over here on the east coast it is dark, dreary, and damp.)
Lovely pictures John, we've just woken up to misty rain and damp!
ReplyDeleteJo xx
It's boiling hot here; at least 14 degrees. I might have a sit down in the garden in a bit!
ReplyDeleteyes, winter is coming for sure and bringing with it the slog of frozen water buckets and frozen feet...but at least the frost might kill all the colds and sniffles around- or is that just a vain hope!
ReplyDeleteFrost and Sunshine. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteGet that hot-water-bottle out from the back of the cupboard!
ReplyDeleteThe overnight temperature has certainly dropped. I blame bonfir night and the fireworks, but then I blame them for everything!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had any frost but it is dull here today, after the gorgeous sunshine yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMy how 21 has grown!
Just woke up to an i-don't-know-what morning...too dark outside to see yet, and sadly there are no chickens, geese and pigs of go and feed.
ReplyDeleteWill you really have one of those geese for lunch?
Your first and last photos are especially great, but of course the ones of the animals hold merit too.
ReplyDeleteWe too woke to the beauty of a white world accompanied by a rather colder morning than we have had for quite some time. Out come the thick jumpers.
ReplyDeletePer, Pear Tree Log... yes, lovely photos. And I now feel cold. And I am so glad I'm not there (although your charming company I'm sure would warm the day).
ReplyDeleteYou did NOT name your goose "Dinner"!!! You bad, frosty man!
ReplyDeleteTime to put your feet in front of the fireplace.
ReplyDeleteHope today is going well for you all.
Very beautiful. By comparison, my introduction to winter was all the Christmas adverts on during Downton Abbey
ReplyDeleteWe have had 2 frosts like that, so far, and several light ones. Yep, there is no stopping winter.
ReplyDeleteWe've had several hard frosts and one good freeze..but the damned stinging insects are still out and about!

ReplyDeleteah so you too watched the quivering lips of lady Mary
We have had a few frosts but covered some garden plants and are still getting a few fresh veggies.
ReplyDeleteHello John...just taking a minute to say HI and tell you I'm loving the new look to your blog. Brrrr it's colder there than here. Having a wonderful visit with my sister. I 'brought' her over for a visit to see your critters ;) Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteMaura :)
Are you really going to eat "dinner"?
ReplyDeleteWe had a hard frost this morning as well. Almost all of last week's snow has gone, and with it the possibility that i'll get any berries in the second fruiting of my 'everbearing' raspberries. sigh.
ReplyDeletegardens all done here, except for some hardy kale that got eaten by something (deer, maybe?)
megan
Oh dear. Really??? You really call that poor goose Dinner??? Oh well. Could be worse. You could call the pigs Bacon and Fatback.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! (But you can keep the frost.)
You might not believe this, but we seldom have frost in Colorado. We have very cold days and nights, but because we have such low moisture and almost no humidity, we rarely experience that white, icy beautifulness on the ground cover. I love going back east and seeing the frost and the icy designs on car windows after a night in the elements.
ReplyDeleteAll lips were quivering last night, John, but we mustn't be defeatist about it - it's so middle class - and if you start going all American on me I shall go downstairs!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't let Elizabeth catch cold - ask Mrs Hopkins to knit her a scarf. x
Blimey. Winter. I remember that.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
ReplyDeleteThey WERE the best two lines!!!!
Oh fuck it, I'm not commenting a third time. Oh shit, just have!
ReplyDeleteYes John, very good photos!
ReplyDeleteNumbers 12 and 21.....does this mean one of their 'status'' has changed?
Dr Burton - weren't they just!! As Maggie would say, "Well, at least that's something we agree on!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a death scene for batty Lavvy. Hair perfectly combed, pure white nightie in Egyptian cotton sheets perfectly arranged to show the outline of her still body and a cameraman swinging from the chandelier to capture her last demure cough. No dropping dead in the trolley park at Tescos with a hurriedly pulled on anorak and a bobble hat covering her windswept mop for this lady!! x
I do not like fowl, but that is an excellent photo of the geese!
ReplyDeleteThis morning I was singing "It's beginning to smell a lot like winter. All around the town."
Wood stove were going regularly this weekend here. I guess we are truly in it now.
Sigh.

Every time I see the laughing William photograph it completely cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup,
