Snow!

This time of year sees little opportunity for traveling to different places; it's cold, wet, dark - and the coffers are somewhat depleted after Christmas! So, instead I've been staying at home, watching detective videos, catching up with my family history research, updating my perosnal wiki and my work wiki, and buying things! A thirst for visiting Wales is having to be satisfied with buying and perusing books, mainly those of old photographs of favourite areas, and few specialist ones on the industrial history, or geological make-up. Of course, the novels I had for Christmas have already been devoured and now I'm onto books on favourite hobbies as well, like stick weaving!

On the odd occasion I have managed to venture outside, I have been pleased I did. Our area didn't suffer too badly with the recent snowfalls, but on a recent a trip to Leicestershire, more specifically Bradgate Park, I was astounded and thrilled to see loads and loads of snow. Lots had been compacted down so there was a lot of sledging going on, but some areas were untouched - 8-10 inches of the stuff, cold but wonderful to walk in. Of course, all this snow mean that the kite flyers I had expected to see were not much in evidence; I think I spotted one or two on my way out, but there was certainly nothing doing in the sky!

So, where next? Undecided!

See you soon.
