Winter is Here

Lovely trees on the Heath

I think winter has finally arrived, not that it's particularly cold just yet, in fact I think we have been extraodinarily lucky with the weather so far.  Perhaps it's because it's a La Nina this year, and Australia is getting all the rain.  After the big-freeze of last year, we are still to see any real snow.  We had one snow flurry a few weeks ago, but nothing settled, and Christmas day was about 15 degrees, cold enough for a roast duck, but certainly no white Christmas.  But even though it is still warm-ish, the trees persist in losing their leaves, and running through the Heath the other day, you were certainly sure it was winter.  Still pretty in it's own, bare, way though.

Snow only settled on gloves

And cars
