a long winter...

A somewhat belated post... but it feels like the cold weather is endless this year. A few weeks ago the sky was blue so, desperate for some sunshine, I took myself for a walk up on the coast. Looks were deceptive though - there was no warmth in the air and within a few minutes my eyes were watering and my hands so cold I could barely use the camera!


Cley Mill looked lovely across the marshes though...


...and the low sun lit up the tidal pools...


The path was icy but a patch of snowdrops gave promise of Spring on the way...


...and then within a few days winter was back, with a vengeance...



My leaky gutter issue became a bit more apparent!


but my friendly robin was happy to take advantage of a bit of unwanted fruit cake...



The snow didn't last that long really but it is still mostly wet and cold and a walk into the city today was a fairly dismal affair, guaranteed to make me want to retreat to the warmth of my living room and curl up with a book...


Definitely ready for winter to be over. Beginning to feel like a hermit...
