Not leaving the house today. Alas, that doesn’t mean I don’t work, but there’ll probably be time for a snowman or two.

It’s still snowing.

I believe the little crosses next to some of the names indicate that that person died in service, but I’m not 100% sure about that. I hope it’s useful or interesting to somebody
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.
These lovely flowers only live for about a day or so, but they really brighten up the front of our house.
