Hello Hello Hivers, Hivians and any other wonderful being who has stumbled onto this!
Jack Frost was out in full force a wee while ago. We don't really get snow in this part of the country.
In fact, we rarely get frost being as that we are on the coast. So when we do it is fun to have a wee walk and enjoy what Jack Frost left behind for us to enjoy!
So we go back to Friday 16th January 2026.
The frozen Rose Garden
Not sure if the roses are hibernating or dead, and am sure will find out in the spring. They used to be big bushes, but the council chopped them down and it is more like a Rose minigarden now!
The frozen boating pond
I would not venture on the ice, that is for sure!
Squirrel Point
Before they chopped down this tree it was home to a squirrel or two and Mrs T and I would feed them. We still do, but now put it in the bushes on the left.
As you can see from the numerous naked trees we are in full on winter mode!
There is something serene and calming about frost on grass I think.
Pondlife
Of course I fed the ducks...
... appropriately Chalky the white duck was there
After feeding them all including the two swans it was time to feed the land birds.
Too cold to sit!
So quiet compared to summer.
Lavender city
These beds are full of lavender and it is buzzing with bees in the summer.
Having a wee play with filters...
The original...
... Filtered version
I think I prefer this one, it pops more?
Follow that path!
If you want warming up, then why not give it a go on the gym equipment!
Well I was on the way to the grocery shop!
The building on the right is the refurbished gate lodge and is now a local kindergarten!
Right we need to skedaddle!
This post is for #wednesdaywalk which was inspired by
Thanks for visiting and I hope you managed to get out for a walk this week.
