Wonderful photos! I'd heard that the West Country has been bearing the brunt of the snow. I should think your lab will sleep well after a walk like that!

The snow is so beautiful, but I think I'm ready to be done with it, sadly. Nevermind, it's not my choice is it? Your title reminded me of a few months ago, when Bill and I were out in the mid-day heat in Greece. Out of the blue he said "You must be a dog." "Excuse me? What are you talking about?" "Well, I'm the Englishman." He's like that.

Beautiful pictures! There's nothing like a good snow to get us into the Holiday spirit.

How could they not? It looks so pretty. (Says she who hasn't been over the doorstep for days).

Oh my...feeling kind of guilty here in western Oregon, US. Sunny and beautiful but on the chilly side. We get snow once in awhile but it has been a long time since we had a foot all at once. Beautiful pictures, thank you.

Thought for life

  • The House of Breath, William Goyen
    We are the carriers of lives and legends - who knows the unseen frescoes on the private walls of the skull?

Thinking about . . .

  • Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus
    I too listen to music more and more. Throughout my life, music has stirred me more than any other art form, and now, in old age, I find myself listening to it almost every evening, usually alone, for hours at a time.
  • Julia Blackburn, Thin Paths
    I began writing because I liked to write things down. I learnt foreign languages because they seemed to enter my head by a process of osmosis.
  • Joan Bakewell, Stop the Clocks
    I live contentedly alone. It's better that way and I am often thoughtful about what has been and what might have been. There are many like me.
  • Patti Smith, M Train
    Oh to be reborn within the pages of a book.
  • Patti Smith, M Train
    Why is it that we lose the things we love, and things cavalier cling to us and will be the measure of our worth after we’re gone?
  • Judith Kerr, Observer Magazine, 22 November 2015
    I don't believe in God. I find it much easier to believe in ancestors. I like to imagine they are pointing us in the right direction.
