Winter Walks

Last week I walked into Swanage and it was bitterly cold, hardly anyone about and grey and dreary except for a sudden flash of sunlight on the sea.
Yesterday, though, it was gloriously sunny but still extremely cold, many more enjoying the beach and it was a lovely walk.
Visited the sheep on the field, they seem to be contented even though surrounded sometimes by the workmen doing various maintenance and restoring jobs.

Misty Morning

Snow and ice gone, what there was of it although I hear it has been snowing elsewhere than our protected little micro climate.
Went out to take some pictures this morning in drizzle and bleak mists that swathed all the countryside in a mysterious light.

Work progresses on the campsite and the sheep are happily munching.

Going tonight to the Friends of Burngate Stone Carving Centre meeting.

Cold Depths of Swanage

It is bitterly cold but we have escaped any real snow just getting a couple of centimetres. Even that has gone now and the ice has is no more.
John and I watched with fascination a Snipe as it foraged for insects just outside our house.

Work has started at the campsite on modernisation of the ladies toilet cubicles, I feel for Jerry and his troupe as it is so cold there.

Here is a picture of Corfe Castle taken from the window of the Santa Special that we took the Grandchildren on before Christmas

Happy New Year

A New Year and a new blog
2010 and the sheep have once again arrived. There are very few but they will help to cut the grass before we re-open in March. It has been very wet before Christmas and is now bitterly cold but bright and beautiful.
