Spring Arrives (For a Day)

Last time I went for a walk with my camera I had the chance to document the British countryside in all its snowy glory. Those photos more closely resembled Narnia than the surroundings I'm used to seeing. Since then we've had a constant onslaught from rain and wind, so when we finally had a few days of sun I leapt on the chance for a long walk armed with my camera. I thought I'd share some of the photos from my walk, and a glimpse of a sunny Welsh winter's day. 

Just look at that lovely blue sky! It feels like Spring is on its way, and if the weather stays as lovely as this, I'll definitely be walking more and sharing more photos with you. I'm also looking forward to the above scenes in full bloom, especially the weeping willows. The only obstacle is that today...it's snowing again. Typical temperamental British weather.

A Brief British Snowfall

Snow has fallen in the UK. As per usual, it has caused widespread disruptions to schools, transport and life in general. On the first snow day, I took the opportunity to take some photos in the neighbourhood.

Hello, Mr Tumnus? 

It's the third day of snow now, and even though I have been out to work and meandering about the place, cabin fever is starting to set in. I've finally found the time to watch my Benjamin Button DVD my mum bought me about two birthdays ago. Three hours after all is rather a long time to invest in a film about an old man-baby. 

The snow is melting fast so it will probably be a while until we see the scenes above again (although I'm hoping it might stick around a little longer so I can make a snowman!)

Hasta luego nieve...
