Winter draws on

Cold this morning. Very cold.

It's probably the first morning for a good while that there's a chance of slipping over on the icy ground. I found that out walking into work this morning.

Lucretia was right in her "Let it snow" post - even with only thick frost there is something quite magical about watching the wispy mist floating along the Tyne as you cross the bridge over it, crunching footprints into the white underfoot.

Oh course, my rose-tinted glasses (no, I don't really have any) are ignoring the fact I still can't feel my fingers and my face is somewhat numb.

Now if only somebody could invent summer snow..........
