Snow! There was a large snowman beside Ladies Mile. For once I was up early, walking through quiet back streets to the Downs to see the sunrise. Then a walk over the snow to Sea Walls from the Granny Down, passing the Water Tower and back via Redland Green was about my limit without becoming frozen. The playground loved by my grandsons looked very cold - although they seem to be enjoying the snow up in Sheffield. There were very few birds around, certainly no Redshank on the estuary mud, one Rook (you can just see his grey beak) was picking through the snow as I walked towards Sea Walls. The trees beside the Water Tower on Stoke Road. Just before sunrise.
Sunrise. A clear blue sky made the sunrise a spectacular event.
Reflections off the windows of the house by Sea Walls. A rather forlorn Rook! Enlarge the picture (by clicking) and you can see his large grey beak.
Black Rocks, Sea Walls. No climbers today.
Blackboy Hill. The sun was getting higher by the time I crossed the Down beside the Dumps.
Joseph and William enjoying the snow in their back garden in Sheffield. The last time we had snow like this in Bristol 'Mum' was not much older than Joseph! I remember that it was very cold in Ashton Court, 1980 perhaps?
Redland Park The children's playground.
... and the snow returned again with a vengeance on Thursday night ...
