That looks blooming gorgeous.
I was walking today. It was 6 degrees and sunny and I was very over dressed.
If you're going to complain about winter you could have surely chosen a far worse day to illustrate the point. 😄

Indeed it has. This was 28th November just near my home street where a numpty driver failed to realise it had snowed and used the fence to stop

Stop bloody moaning 
I have not seen blue sky for weeks. I am still riding 40km most days. But you are right. It has been grim of late. Some sunshine and blue sky like you have got would be ideal.

The winter here so far for us has been grey and damp too. We've had occasssional clear skies but not many. So whilst the average temperatures might be up, it doesn't feel that way.
Considerations for our heating system too! It has an outdoor thermometer to control it's function but that doesn't take into account humidity. It might well be 6 or 8c outside but it feels a helluva lot colder due to the damp. Have you turn up (of turn down) the rads to compensate.
Give me cold clear days in preference to this any day!

Cold and crisp again here in Poshshire. I don't mind that, at least if feels like winter.
If id wanted all year round rain and drizzle, with only the temperature of the raindrops changing as the seasons roll by, I'd have stayed home North of the border.
I don't do heat for reasons aforementioned, but that first bright, warm day of spring really does lift my spirits. After that its downhill as it gets warmer and we'll be moaning about that instead.

Having been stuck indoors for two months the stunning sunny days we've had over the past week or so are slightly frustrating. I can't understand why everyone isn't going out for long walks or bike rides.

I was a bit disappointed when I read the mole killing bit. When I saw "wildlife management" I was thinking about creating spaces to encourage wildlife and managing land for conservation

Another bright blue sky start here as well .
When we had our lunchtime stroll yesterday we both commented that a nice 6+ mile walk or a 30+ mile bike ride would have been lovely but alas work got in the way

Following the off-topic further off-topic; I like moles. They are incredibly cute, also (like many animals) incredibly industrious and wonderfully adapted.
I remember the first time I trapped one (over a decade ago now) and I was mortified at what I'd done, seeing this adorable little creature in the trap. It was only doing what moles do, and I'd killed it for it. I stopped trapping and let them be.
Fortunately, they are not prolific in our garden (I think the combination of having an often ploughed field beside us and having a dog keeps the numbers down) I've seen gardens/lawns littered with mole hills and I'm not sure what I'd do in those circumstances.

In my case, full time and very busy work! I did manage 10 miles at lunchtime though. I’ll get out over the weekend though

This has been a nearly ice free winter, if you start your rides at 11:30am.
Tatton Park yesterday, the mere was a little bit icy.
