Snowy Snaps (Two New Posts)


Snow in our back garden (of the B&B )
This looks very reminiscent of those snowy scenes in "Peanuts" when Snoopy has snow on his kennel. This time the birds have got their fair share...
A bridge in Longbyre (our hamlet)


This is the section of Hadrian's Wall just down our road - on top of a railway embankment (now disused)




And a close up...









The "Vallum" just over the way. It is in shadow but it comes up in stark relief. It is the ditch and should be called "Fossa" but the Venerable Bede got his Latin mixed up back in the 800s. (Happens to the best of us!). "Vallum" actually means "Wall" and "Fossa" means "Ditch". It is still called "The Vallum" to this day...


































Gigantic Swiss Rolls (see my last post...also posted today)...... (just been reminded that they are, in fact, "Artic Rolls"....of course........)






















I'm wearing my hat purchased in Hungary and it's coming in handy!








































Fancy a bath anyone?





















































Looking down at Longbyre from the top of the hill...our B&B is on the bottom right at the edge of the hamlet.















Walking the dog...even he looks a tad cold!

School is off! Meetings are off! Is the tax return off????????
Nevertheless we are very happy playing in the snow and enjoying the warmth. Cheers everyone!
