A Walk at Calke

2 posts in one day, what an unusually productive mood I'm in!

Or more likely I've had friends over for the last day or so, and therefore have actually remembered my camera exists!

As previously mentioned the last couple of days have been COLD. Or at least Ellie cold!
Since I had friends over, and the weather was at least dry we decided to take a nice walk at the local Calke Abbey to try and wear off some of the extensive amounts of food we had consumed the previous evening.

The park is beautiful at any time of the year, but the frost and lingering mist did give it a magical feeling, especially when we first got there and the number of visitors was low.

Not going to lie, the best thing about the walk was bumping into a guy taking this fella around on a leash.
Cute doesn't quite cover it!
                            

Winter is Coming - Or maybe not!

Those who know me are aware I live in the very temperate midlands in the UK, where anything outside of 5 - 15°C is considered to be highly suspicious! That's not to say we don't get more "extreme" weather, but it's rare, and we constantly complain about it when it's here. (Although to be honest as a Brit complaining about the weather is normal conversation.) 

The last couple of days have been practically arctic in comparison to the rest of December, and for once I was neither at work, or in bed. Therefore I grabbed my camera and made the most of it, after all the frost looks so pretty!

As my daft cat decided to follow me up the garden, I had to take pictures of her misery too!
