Snow snow and more snow...

The snow that fell overnight here has melted, but there is plenty still on the hills.   It's odd looking down when you are standing a foot deep in snow onto a green valley full of sun.   Here is a view from our front window:



I have got a bug of some sort and spent this morning asleep. I should be working now but I'm all achy and don't want to.

I forgot to note that the weather is running backwards again.  East winds are so strange.

I think that bed might be a good idea. I have taken a few days to realise this!

Is that the view from your front window? Has your house moved? Or have I glimpsed the dread Outside so little from your house that I haven't noticed this Himalayan view?

That's the view out the front, looking towards the right.

Apparently Okehampton had 55cm of snow. Okehampton is roughly in that line of sight, but the other side of Dartmoor. If Okehampton had 55cm, I'm guessing there must be close to a metre on the high moor.

I admit I did point the camera in the right direction and use the zoom to get the wintery bit more visible, but it's definitely our view!

... thinking on, it's entirely possible that you've never been here when that hedge has been cut enough that you can actually see the view over it.

I hope you feel better soon.

That's a stunning view - like something from an illo to a fantasy quest novel.

I agree, it's a great picture. I often think that real views would be dismissed as 'too fantastic' for many novels. Especially of lighting effects (cloudy day near sunset).
