Another (snowy) corner of my Mum's garden

That wall is about 50 years older than the house and extends from the street at the front right to the back of the garden and beyond. So it would have been built around 1780 and the indications from a very old and badly defined map I found in the library some years ago showed that it probably enclosed a large tin mine of which further records are non-existant. A survey report did reveal adits below the house but as the closest one to the surface is 50 feet down and the rock is granite there is no possibility of land slip, even if St Day is known as 'Sinking City' (as fields and occasionaly houses have disappeared into sudden and unknown - or perhaps more usually - unrecorded mine shafts opening up especially in very wet weather and of which the mine caps were not durable enough, especially over the course of centuries!).

First snow of this winter

My Mum's garden under snow. It still doesn't look too bad! By the way this is NOT a black and white photo despite initial appearances (look carefully and you can find some red aubutilon flowers and some green leaves, perhaps better seen on large)!

Today's enjoyable walk in the snow

Gwel Leden, an attractive farm on the outskirts of St Day. I was pleased to see the lights were on at The Star Inn, my destination for this day's constitutional - a swift half and a return to cook supper.

The last day of the snow 6 weeks ago!

HFF, Everyone! The next day the snow had all gone. The view from my sister's home (now mine too for the time being!), looking over the hen coop and the roofs of Valderrey, our community. Early evening shot. Best on Z.

Winter. Algete, Madrid. Many thanks to the IMA tea…

Just outside the house. I have a couple more but that's it. Couldn't venture too far as it was either too deep or too icy and I can't risk a slip and a fall. By the time I could get out, it had changed to a dirty slush, so to all those who assumed I would have a bank of snow pictures, I'm very sorry!
