Wow it snowed here. They don't get much snow in this part of England.
It did close local airports, a couple of the schools. Mind you they don't have much in the way of snow removing equipment. The lorries - called gritters much be outfitted with the sand and grit (sand and salt) and it is only applied to the main highways.
Check out the sky - blue as ever and very cold!
Glad we had various plans - we had planned to go to Warwick , instead we went over to Olney or "Oney" as the locals say it and visited the Cowper & Newton Museum. A great museum on William Cowper and John Newton. Lots to learn about them from 1740's through 1800. Very interesting time.
Okay - that was lovely - it was the lace collection that they have - now that was a collection! here's a picture or two - enjoy
Honiton on the left and needle lace on the right
I'll post a few more pictures when I have better upload speed!
Hmmm the color of the sky and the color of the backing under the lace :)
