It's a grey, grey world

This morning, I should have woken to the sounds and colour of the Caribbean. My holiday to St Lucia was cancelled weeks ago, of course. There is a certain beauty to the Manchester trees against a grey sky - it's a colour photo, by the way! - but I know where I would prefer to be....

No real snow this winter yet, in these parts, but there's still time. A lot of time.
