Snow

I know snow in North America and parts of Europe is very normal, but here in the south of England this sort of snow is a once in a generation event. The BBC said yesterday we had a foot of snow in Fleet.
The cats aren't heavy enough to fully break the surface of the snow and sink right down thankfully or they'd disappear.

It's very pretty. I don't know what the temperature went down to here but up the road in Oxfordshire it went down to -18°C which on one online converting site tells me it's 0°F or as cold as Moscow.

Fliss and a friend made a snowman on the first night.

Happy 2010

I'm giving myself a little holiday treat and having a break from the white on white wholecloth. It's lovely to be back using colour again. This silk piece will end up as a little sachet for Fliss's new little laptop. (It will keep it nice and shiny white).
