Dec 20th, still no snow daaaan saaaaf.

Just another few shots 'Hagar style' from further west along the south coast. No snow down here yet Doug. :P

Had a quick walk up to the coastguard lookout & lighthouse at Berry Head.

Bl**dy cold it was as well, not that these woolly mammoths (yes they are!!) seemed to mind:

Martyn... ;)....

If you had posted those shots in the middle of Summer, they would have looked/felt lovely and warm and cosy... :-*....

...but we know its in the middle of Winter, so its got to be blaady freezin' cold there!... :o...!

Paul...Used to go Camping (In a Tent.. ;)...) there, many years ago...in the Summer Time!

P.S. I could make a model of that Lighthouse out of my LEGO Bricks... :)...!

We had another 3 inches of snow last night, didn't stop me getting to work (many who live far closer than me couldn't make the effort)!

I think you have hit the nail on the head Matk. I was reading the news and there were pictures of "abandoned cars". They all sat in a what appeared to be a couple of inches of snow. This last week,

I must have counted more than 30 abandoned vehicles on the way to work this morning. Oddly they were nearly all "posh" cars, e.g. BMWs, Mercs etc. All big heavy front engined, rear wheel drive cars that are not good in the adverse weather but terribly popular with managers and other talentless fat lumps...
