As a diversion from the gun debate below, serious and worthwhile as it is, let us glory in the dump of snow we have had at Douai, and that most of southern Britain is experiencing. For all its beauty it brings its own very significant hazards, so spare a prayer for those who must travel in this weather. And now is the time to fill your bird-feeders, if you have one. This will be a tough time time for the lovely little things. I am conscious of course that back in Australia my family swelters!
Some scenes this morning from Douai… as usual they get bigger if you click them.

Happy New Year Hugh, we have had a good amount of snow in Munich as well and currently -3°.

Ah, Muenchen! I love that city. I really must visit you there. 😉
Here it is -2, and still snowing steadily. My poor sheep…
Pax!

12 cm of snow here and my bird feeders currently have a flock of 12 sparrows feeding from them, more are lined up in the hedge awaiting their turn.

Bless! Well-behaved little guys and gals, aren’t they? To our shame, I think our feeders might still be empty!
Pax!
