Winter has only just arrived!
« on: November 16, 2006, 17:36:43 »
Given the weather recently, and how green everything is still, it's hard to believe it's half way through November. It's only the last couple of days when the leaves have suddenly changed colour and fallen. This was the scene just a couple of days ago out of my lounge window.

I just looked out earlier and watched the setting sun paint the branches of the leafless trees in the distance and thought...


When did they loose their leaves? :lol:  :lol:

Exactly! It's all happened so quickly. Went for a walk on Sunday and there were very few trees with golden leaves. I was a bit disapointed because I purposely took my camera! But by this morning, the trees are nearly all bare.

Some bloke walked through the site I'm on wearing a pair of shorts today.
I had a coat on as the wind was chilly, hinting that snow is on the way.

The views sold the house to us  :D  We don't see another house from either the front or the back. That church is in the next village, about 3 kms away. If we go for a walk and stick to tarmac, the left, left, left route (if you know what I mean!) is over 7 Kms. And we have fords on 3 of the roads leading away from the house  :D Well, in the winter we do anyway.

Dan - That's some sky in the last pic!

Schuee,

Shame it rained later  :cry:

Hi Boggert
Was on my way back from Warrington Friday morning, arrived back in Grantham around 07.30, when I saw the missus I said about the red sky that morning, then about 1 hour later went dark and the heavens opened  :shock:
Was it you I saw going past Belmount Tower Thursday morning around 9.30 :?:

Cheers Schuee
