Saturday's walk was all about the weather - I sent off for my walk round Hardwick Wood and Caldecote in warm sunshine but the clouds soon gathered and, as the rain started, I noticed a glider against the storm clouds and then another and another. In all I counted 8 soaring in the thermals (plus a buzzard). I later found out these were from the UK Junior Gliding Nationals at Gransden Lodge. One glider failed to maintain height and must have landed in a local field somewhere. I got very wet but. like these skittish calves, dried off in some late afternoon sunshine. (for my info wider angle are phone images)

Now Wimpole in the Snow
These images I hope portray the very cold conditions at Wimpole today - a high wind and persistent snow gave some very bleak but beautiful pastel scenes. I particularly like the images of the Hardwicke Arms,which dates as a coaching inn from the 18th century.
