Greeting from Hull

The journey here took longer than we hoped with a crash on the A1 causing us to go across country and over the Humber Bridge though we couldn't see much of it as there was thick fog!! After finding the Premier Inn and unpacking, we crossed the adjacent footbridge into the Old Town so a few images of the river and buildings plus one of the very many old-fashioned pubs.

Favourite Walk Toft to Hardwick Wood and Caldecote Church

 Some images from my favourite local walk - one I do at least once a week from Toft towards Hardwick then down to the Brook, up to Frog Hall, along to Hardwick wood, round to Caldecote Church and back to Toft. It changes so dramatically through the seasons (see Ann Miles Blog: Favourite Local Walk (pin-sharp.blogspot.com) for a September view)

Paxton Pits Snow, Ice and Birds

With the Pits themselves  frozen, the water birds have congregated by the river, while smaller birds are struggling to find food in the snow covered vegetation. Only the Heron remained on Hernonry South Lake. The Barn Owl was out quartering around midday while the Goldcrest was tirelessly hunting on the river bank. Bright sunny day so the views were magical with the ice patterns and frost on top of snow
