Wild roses, January 1st 2009
After clearing briefly late yesterday afternoon, the frost mist has returned and with it a fall of light, powdery snow. Once again every branch and twig is frosted and now the ground has a light covering as well. A magical sight, Christmas card perfect, but the light levels are very low with the silver mist and the hills all around here are invisible. Trees stand in layers of grey and black silhouette and only up close is there any colour in the frozen landscape at all. It has been frozen here since Christmas Night, seven nights ago, and the forecast is for night time temperatures to drop still further and daytime ones to hover at around 0C for another few days.
