Snow's fine with me. As is rain. But not sleet: that's cold and runs down my neck. Or hail in the face, which just hurts.

That's why Akubra hats are so useful.

(Other types of wide brimmed hat are available)
 
I have stood in front of displays of Tilly hats so many times thinking I really want one but is it really worth the expense. I don't mind spending but I like quality for the money.

I've wondered about a Tilly as well, as my leather Akubra is a bit warm after early spring and can't be squashed into a bag, but I really like having a waterproof hat which keeps my glasses and neck dry.

Also, a neck band would be handy: I once lost my Akubra when it was snatched off my head when I was commuting one dark and windy night. It turned up the next morning in a field just off the cycleway.

Apparently we are going to have the odd spot of snow throughout the day today, but nothing that will settle or to be concerned about.

Then it's going to snow from 2AM tomorrow morning and will stop at 12PM on Wednesday :eek:
You'll be up, to check that they got the time correct this time.

Which reminds me - I really must remove that old washing line post.
 
It had all kicked off outside a little while ago .
I spotted a female Sparrowhawk hiding in our magnolia tree. She flew off before I could get a good photo of her.
Meanwhile in the distance a pair of Crows were mobbing a Raven. Some Gulls had joined in and were wheeling around but in the confusion ended up chasing one another.
For a big bird the Raven is a very agile .
