Brilliant. We have only had snow like that twice in 8 years. Frost, yes, but not snow. Hope daughter is ok.
PS I like the wry grin!

Well, Eric , as you can see .........just about thawed by the time I read the manual and got the digi camera up and running!!  ::) But certainly caused absolute havoc on the roads last night!!
Daughter and friend were fine ...more concerned about missing midnight hugs and kisses from certain admirers!!  ::)  ;)  ;D

What a fab snowman and pic, keeping my fingers crossed that we get some of the white stuff in Essex so we can have a go as well ::)

Well done you, for putting on a new pic for 2004.

Happy New Year

- if that damned bird would stop fanning us, we'd be a lot warmer!!

Or is it a 'wind power generator'?.  = Tim

Oh...Tim!!........how could you berate my lovey-dovey animated symbol... winging it's way across the cyber waves, conveying a most sincere message to one and all!!  ;)   ;D


btw..Tim, how canny of you !!  Up here in the wilds we DO have a wind 'farm' !!   As one approaches over the brow of the hill........monstrous, metallic albatross type wings loom into view 'twixt field and sky........extremely surreal !!

Foggy today...but here's a pic anyway ( slightly enhanced!! ).....sorry, couldn't fit all 15 of them in!
