Actually, there was post today, but very few trains!
Winter arrived this morning with a dusting of snow. Really, we had no more than the merest of sugar frostings (not even as much as in these shots from 2009-10) but it was enough to freeze the train network. Commuter chaos ensued. Oh dear.
Two swans wisely escaping the commuter chaos.
Focused Moments 
I too had a dusting where I was. Barely anything! And yet, what did I see on my way to work? Someone hadn’t thought that maybe it was a bit icy and drove into someone’s front garden fence!
Lovely snowy shots. Snowy landscapes and detail shots are one reason why I look forward to snow!
I think I’ve had more than enough snow in my life. I do just fine without it these days. But your shots of it are very pretty.
These are lovely shots, Rachael.
And panic ensues. How dare does the snow fall and disrupt us ! Such beautiful scenery.
Reblogged this on whatlahyou.
Had me fooled for a moment until I read your words and realised these are old photos… we had only a smattering but 30 miles away they had a couple of inches!
Love the swans. We still have some lingering snow from our Friday fall in patches on the footpaths, roadsides and vegetable gardens. All of a sudden 0C or thereabouts is the standard temp in morning and evening, but so long as it’s not cloudy and windy I’m not complaining — yet…
I am swooooooning over that postbox photograph! Makes me want to address a whole big stack of Christmas cards in big green envelopes and maybe some pretty parcels too!
I TOTALLY agree, Sue! I’m from the States, and have never seen such a beautiful mailbox (that’s what we call them here). 🙂

Such vibrant colors that dramatically contrast with the snow! We’ve been getting a lot of the white stuff since November. Such is the joy of living in the mountains. 🙂
