Proper Snow at Last

I've been watching all the snow reports from the UK

and hoping that Mike would make it back okay,

which he did.

Thank goodness!

Yesterday we took a walk along the river as usual

and saw that the level of the river was high.

It was raining steady, and what snow we had

was thawing.

Today when we took our usual route to the river,

we found our path flooded.

Not only the path

but a large expanse of area

was under water.

I've shown the view below before

when people have been waiting for a boat.

Now I know why the benches, bins and playground are removed over winter!

Last night,

it snowed properly,

making everything very pretty.

So after the hounds had finished their walk,

I went back out and had a walk through the allotments near to our house.

And snapped away.

Well I had been missing out on all that snow

everyone has been experiencing in the UK.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
