Frost

Today saw the first deep frost of the winter, with roof tops, leaves and grasses gleaming in what few rays of morning sun were to be had.

I wouldn't normally pass this spot on the way to work, but i arrived at the railway station to find the train cancelled, so had a ten minute walk along Station Road to pick up a bus instead. I made a minor detour to overlook Brook Hill, which normally provides a nice view. The picture doesn't quite capture the frostiness of the grass, but the white roofs are clear enough.

After a morning of back to back meetings, I'd booked the afternoon off to enjoy 4yo's birthday festivities. I figure they're only this age once, and I ought to make the effort to be there for the special moments.

Apologies for falling behind in blip comments at the moment - computer difficulties mean I don't have my normal online access, but I'll catch up when I can.
