It’s a good job I’d always intended to work from home today as I got a shock when I opened the bedroom blinds this morning! The Calder valley was covered in snow – not something we’d been expecting despite the freezing temperatures of the past couple of days. Admittedly, the valley did look beautiful under its dusting as the blue skies were were also treated to made the ideal contrast. Part of me would have loved to have ventured out with the camera but I had too much else do. I did venture out for a while as I had an appointment to keep, which buggered up any chance of photography as the sun had dipped too far by the time I returned. Hopefully, this won’t be our only snowfall this season and next time I’ll have some warning.

Mind you, the drop in temperature was such a shock to the system I was rather glad I was stuck as home in the warm. I’m not a great fan of sub-zero temperatures. Maybe spending so much time in SE-Asia’s thinned my blood as I much prefer heat to cold. Still, we’ll see what December brings…

It’s a short blog from me tonight as I’ve been on cooking duty so the evening’s almost gone. I’m off to spend the last of it with Dawn I’ll leave you with the view from our bedroom window this morning. The snow’s stuck around, so I may have chance to get other pictures tomorrow…

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/
