    It's snowed today and although I didn't venture far I did go out in the garden and take a few pictures. My poor greenhouse looks transformed and my little garden friends look good, Titan with snow on his hat and Buddha with the snow on his balls :eek:
    No flowers but a bit of colour from the swing. [​IMG]

    Oh my Petal, I thought it was cold enough for snow - but I didn't think it would get this far south.

    Lovely pictures though. Snow does indeed transform the garden.

    Pics look good Petal. We've had a fair bit of snow too today but I didn't venture out with my camera. [​IMG]

    Very cold wind blowing here, but no snow, sunshine all day. Hard frost tonight I expect.
    Buddha beware. :D

    You'll be able to see in everyone's garden from your elevated position Fran. Friends of ours have a motorhome and they bought bikes to explore local areas (pubs!) when they get parked up for the night.

    No Steve not autosleepers design. After a lot of research in terms of identifying the one that had the features/base vehicle and build quality I needed, I found the smaller manufacturers/suppliers were better. This one is IHMotor Campers - 1998 national award winning vehicle design, and purchased directly from them - second hand of course (I ain't all that wealthy)but only 33000 on the clock - so good for a lot more years.

    Yes Pete - there are so many small and indeed large sites throughout the UK, and none are very far from a pub :D Give me a month or so to get past the worst of the winter, and I will be exploring them
    :D

    Having just seen the weather forecasts for Tuesday - snow chains indeed :( I am still hoping the met office 2/3 1/3 forecast is going to come out in favour of the 1/3. Take a look at the 63 weather on the met web site - brrrrr.

    Frogesque - do explain what a "blog" is. I see it lots of time on the internet and I have no idea what it means. :confused:
