Mundane News

I have been out for a ride. It was a bit of a struggle getting out to Biddestone but it was lovely on the way back to see the hills in the distance covered in snow.
I stopped a couple of times to take some pictures. Another 7 miles.

Time to ditch work early - catch the best of the snow. I'm off out on the MTB with Ice Spikers.

I may be some time !

Working on my LH 90B watercolour.

It will go in a motor racing scrapbook that I am revamping. I started the scrapbook in 1988, and it's looking a little tired in places...

Or should that be tyred.

Just been watching this on the news ,vortex. Wow it does look quite nasty

-30C this morning. Glorious sunshine but windy. I got called in to work.

The snow capped hills of Blacklands Hollow and Cherhill in the background. Taken today whilst admiring the view .

-30C this morning. Glorious sunshine but windy. I got called in to work.

From here it's hard to imagine that kind of temperature. The outright record for my part of the world is -26.1 and that was way back in the 1980s.

A bit of information about my previous picture. On the top of the left hand hill you might be able to see Cherhill Monument which was designed by Charles Barry the same chap that designed the Palace of Westminster ( House of Parliament ). I haven't a clue why it was built though!

The relief when I get home knowing the cycling is over is just wonderful

That ride was rather filthy. Slushy, and not much snow, but it's starting to freeze.

Neither do I: it seems a rather pointless waste of time. Do you know why the Cherhill Monument was built?

 

[Reynard]

I have put some mushrooms and tomatoes under the grill. Other suitable comestibles are about to hit the frying pan.

My recycling bin was frozen shut.
I had to whallop the top with a clenched fist to break the icy seal.

"Erected in 1845 by the 3rd Marquis of Lansdowne to the designs of Sir Charles Barry to commemorate his ancestor, Sir William Petty."
