This was the view that met Katharine when she looked out of the window at breakfast time this morning. Yes, winter has tried to make a return, but as you can see it wasn't really very successful - but it does feel cold after the 18C temperatures we enjoyed at the end of last week.
It didn't take long for this snow to disappear, and now we have a mix of sunshine and rain showers. The forecast is for the weather to warm up over the next few days.
Thank you all for your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated. Katharine will be thrilled to read them when she gets home this evening.
Weather is still cold today, although no more snow. The forecast is for it to get a little warmer over the next few days.
