A Snowy Wandering....

Lovely Blog Sid and so nice to see you! Your photos are great and Birtie is a beauty.

Thanks Dawn - looks like I'm wearing a crash helmet lol

Lovely photos Sid...The cathedral looks beautiful in this snowy pic.But the best has to be Berties tentative left paw in the last photo !!!

Lovely to see the pics of Hereford Sarah , memories of school days crossing the Vicky Bridge are coming back to me again ....... thanks x

Love the blog, Sid, especially the trees and the cathedral. Birtie is the star, of course, that's a great rear end view :) The monkey puzzle tree looks like a Christmas tree with candles on! Glad you are enjoying the snow.

You look very happy out in that white stuff - if you could catch me out there, I would be wearing a big SCOWL!! Z:( Like that!

Great photos Sid, and thanks for sharing them with us.

Hope you are keeping comfy and warm. It's freezing here in Bristol... Minus nine degrees last evening... brrrrr!

what a lovely place to live

I also enjoyed the pics of Hereford, and nice to see you Sarah ...:0)

Looks great Sarah..I liked the back side of Birtie looking over the fence..too cute..lol...she could not believe the silliness of the grass changing up that way!!!! I love the big Beech trees..and yes I always think of cathedrals when I am in the forest...poor kitties...always look a little panicky in the snow...
No Snowman?

lovely photos .

What gorgeous pics, Sarah and I love your commentary! Especially the bit about the cathedral of trees...very true...and there are quite a few called such around the UK
We have one on the west coast near Oban....and one wonders which idea came first - the trees or the cathedrals!!!
Poor puss...I'll bet she was glad to get inside!! I would have been - however beautiful that sky...LOL

Great blog and smashing Photo`s,thanks for showing and I think Birtie looks a lot happier with her paws out of the white stuff.........

Smashing blog, with great photos too. Thanks Sarah and Birtie. :-))

Lovely blog Sid :-)
Birtie's about as happy as Millie and Maddie are out there !
Millie refuses point blank to go outside. Will NOT.
(yes, we have a litter tray!)

great blog Sid....
loving the tree pics..

Great Blog Sarah i really loved the Pics :)

Lovely pictures and blog Sid :-)

Lovely blog Sid and the photos of Hereford bring back some memories too.
So that's what's hiding behind the chicken of the wood fungus (your avatar photo! Lol)

Thanks for the nice comments folks :-)

Barbara - I love your scowl Z:( very good! Poor you - I do feel for all those that do not like the snow and those that can't get about very well. I'm lucky in that there's a super market just down the road and the city centre is a short walk away too, so we're ok for food and seeing people etc and the road outside our house is clear of snow....so we're able to enjoy it more here!

Grenville & Alan - yes, I'm keeping nice and cosy working from home this week thanks :-) It was minus 9 here last night too....brrrrrrrrrr x-)

Cat - no snowman! I like to leave the snow nice and pristine in the garden :-) There is an army of snowmen being built down on the Bishop's Meadows! It's quite scary really lol

Alz - I read somewhere that the early Christians wanted to convert the Pagans so the early churches were built to resemble the woodland glades where the Pagans worshiped. Don't know if there's much truth in that, but you can see why people might think that can't you...

Louise - Birtie says Meow to Millie and Maddie :-)

Ian - Hullo ;-) When were you in Hereford? BTW I'm not a Chicken of the Wood, I'm a Dryad's Saddle ;-)

Sid, Birtie's told Millie that it's okay for her to come over, she's bored witless and needs some company seeing as she can't go outside ;-))

What lovely photos. The 6th one down looks like a Lowry picture. Love the avenue of trees too. They are all very good. Thank you.

Lovely photos but dont like snow.....

Fascinating blog.... good pics ...
Keep warm and safe. :o)
I especially like the photo of the monkey puzzle tree.
Is it an old tree ?

Louise - please send Millie over. Birtie is bored silly and is getting destructive! lol Her claws are also getting too long coz she's not going out - so she keeps sticking to things LOL I'm thinking of taking a nail file to her ;-)

Mad - yes it does doesn't it....

Clarice - oh dear poor you!

TT - Thanks and yes I'm keeping nice and warm and safe....but I'm meant to go into work tomorrow and it's started snowing again here, so not sure what I'm going to do?! The monkey puzzle has a good story behind it........ It is not an old tree - I remember when it was planted when I was about 10 years old so that would make it about 25 years old. It was about the same height as me when it was planted but it's pretty big now - almost as tall as the houses opposite :-)

Wow - that's going some then as they are notoriously slow growers!
I had two in my garden when I was a kid and they were about 12 foot tall then and don't seem to have more than doubled that in the past 60 years!!!

Great stuff!!
Really good to see someone else enjoying it not moaning about it!!!
Very cool cat!

Yes I agree,,,,,but when you get weeks of the white stuff - the novelty does wear off a bit - especially with the temp not rising above zero for days on end either.
It look absolutely gorgeous...fairly makes the gardens look good ..not a weed in sight....;;>>)))

Thanks Mossy from me and Birts ;-)

Alz - yeah, it's getting a bit boring now... lol we got another lot 2 days ago and we're getting another lot tonight they say...... Enough! x-) Today was nice - felt like spring - counted at least 3 honey bees on the snowdrops!!!!!
