Whilst many of you had a fleeting glimpse of snow last week, and some had none, in South Yorkshire it fell and it stayed. On Sunday we were even treated to blue skies too which made it even prettier. With hubby working, I took myself off for a stroll around Wentworth.



The duck pond is frozen and the ducks seem to have gone off in search of food.

This is "The Mechanics Institute" - a sort of village hall. Wentworth WI are having a Christmas Party this week and my WI have been invited (I told you that the WI are all about food!). Our own Christmas Party had to be postponed last week because of the bad weather. Notice "postponed" and not "cancelled".

One of the many lovely little tea rooms has abandoned its pretty garden.......

..in favour of a real log fire.

This is "Paradise Square". A much photographed cluster of houses in the village.

And a bit of a favourite with my overseas relatives when they visit! Yes, you know who you are!
I think I may book a table for hubby and I for our Wedding Anniversary which falls between Christmas and New Year.

Now that the roads are a bit clearer (some of the side roads are still very dicey) I don't mind if it hangs around until Christmas. Its still very cold so its not going that mushy dirty colour yet.

Ive made this into a Christmas card for my Mum as it is one of her favourite walks. Talking of Christmas cards - remember I wrote them at the end of November? I thought it would be a good opportunity to deliver the ones on my street and close by - I can't find them!!! I have the ones that need posting, but the rest are nowhere to be seen!!!! So much for my skillful planning and efficient organisation! Thwarted by yet another "senior moment".

And music today was provided by these splendid chaps and their male voice choir - Ding Dong Merrily on high!
