This morning over the garden fence: frosted crab apples and brilliant sunshine. The weather people tell us there will be more frost tonight and tomorrow (temps around –5 C), but slightly milder weather over the weekend.
In the meantime, I’ve been enjoying the frost-art around the garden, and especially the glistening spent flower heads of the Smoke Bush (Cotinus coggygria). Truly a tree for all seasons.

And then there were the spider installations on the garden shed window:

We also checked on the MacMoos this morning. They seemed in meditative mood, soaking up the sunshine.

Much Wenlock’s Church Green this morning

And finally before lunch there was a quick tramp to the allotment, the wheat field iron-hard, and hard on the feet too, even in boots.

Allotment windfalls – the robins are enjoying them

Don’t you know that sun feels good the Moos.
Tish, long time.
Celestine, how are you, my dear. Goodness, it is a long time.
Not too much frost though. Lovely shots.
Brrr! The cows don’t seem to mind the cold.
They were not a bit bothered. The are rather dreamy creatures mind you.
As long as the sun is out, I’m okay outside in the zero degree. Lovely captures from your side 🙂
Cheers, Hammad. And yes, some bright sunshire and blue sky makes all the difference to bearing the cold.
Definitely winter, Tish! Deep and crisp and even. Friends have been sending me pretty photos with a delicate topping of snow on the garden table and the cosy log burner.
Definitely glad of the log burner, Jo. You can have too much crispness.
🤣💟
Lovely
Thanks, Sherry.
Oh the spiders web and the cotinus! Lovely.
Lovely moments even in the cold 🙂
Beautiful frosty photos Tish. Good to see the blue sky.
Yes, blue sky after all the murk is a true joy.
Cute little Macmoos!
Aren’t they just 🙂
Frost is beautiful, isn’t it? Pity it’s so damned cold! Christmas greetings, Tish. Have a splendid one!
All the very best to you, James.
Thx 🙂
Wonderful winter wonderland Tish, but I’m happy to just look at the photos
The landscape is truly lovely to look at, but it’s been v. cold today, with tonight being the coldest so far. We were v. glad of a log delivery for the wood burner. But hopefully some rising temps over the weekend.
We’ve been 30+ last week, but now is “cooler” 25 🤭. Have a lovely Christmas and keep warm in front of the fire.🥂
Many thanks for those good wishes, Pauline. All the best to you and Jack.
Love the frosty spider web. It has become winter art 🙂
I love the frost art. Not something we can see here. It is truly art. and the MacMoo, is adorable. Seems pretty curious.
Cheers, Donna. The frost certainly had some high points, but I’m glad it’s retreated.
Fascinatingly hairy cows. Useful coats if it falls below freezing.
I think they may feel the benefit soon, I.J. We’re due some v. cold weather this coming week.
Stay warm
