Misty morn


Nature is really outdoing herself at the moment. After yesterday's clear blue skies, I woke this morning to another hard frost but also to mist. I know a lot of people don't like mist and fog but I find it quite beautiful, particularly when it's floaty and ethereal like today. I thought I might stand a chance of something interesting for the 'black and white' category for the scavenger hunt so headed down to the lake. I'm not sure I achieved that but this is what I did find...


  














So much beauty in monochrome colours and I love how the berries look like they've been dipped in sugar!

Hope you've had a good day. We've had quiet at home time. I've made progress on a winter embroidery, played around with another (unsatisfactory) idea for a mug cosy, and, thankfully, managed to hunt out the recipe for the roast lamb I want to make on New Year's Day. I'm now feeling slightly squiffy from the Naughty Naughty* cocktail I've been drinking whilst writing this post! I'm hoping I sober up soon as I have to make dinner shortly! xx

* white rum, lemon juice, orange juice, ginger beer

  2. Fantastic photos Julie, I love the hard frost and what it does to things that are usually so ordinary. Those berries certainly look as though they belong on a cake being dusted with sugar! Hope you have sobered up nicely :-) xx

  7. Lovely photos. Makes me want to get out & walk more, especially outside London. I love where I live but need a 'get to the countryside/away from crowds' fix every now & then.
