It’s been a chilly week in the UK, colder than it has been for a few years. The low point was -12 just up the road from us in Benson, Oxfordshire. This is Grimsbury Castle yesterday afternoon, with the hard frost still sticking to the branches of the trees.

Awesome photo, the brown v white is stunning. . . like a still from Lord of the Rings. Can you add an Orc with Pshop?

I’m sure an Orc could be squeezed in there – it’d probably look like a typical Connolly cack-handed job but I’ll try
How are you keeping? Still working for Auntie, I see. Good stuff, we need her, especially these days when the NF can claim Euro money to pursue their screwed up agenda. Take it easy mate.
