Frost and Fog

.

.

In contrast to the tropical weather that we’ve been having, this week fog and frost have settled in at last in these few days before Xmas. We walked home last night after a drinks party at one of our neighbours’ house and the street was very quiet and dark, with bare trees overhanging. The fog clung to everything and gave the street lights a yellowish halo. It was all marvellously spooky!

It now feels much more as Xmas should - with red noses from the cold and everyone wrapped up like Michelin men in scarves and winter woolies and bobble hats. In the morning, the grass is crunchy underfoot from the frost.

This is a short post as I have two weeks holiday from my day job starting from the end of today and I shall be cosy-ed up at home with lots of yummy food, good books I haven’t yet had a chance to read, chocolate and red wine and port for fortification against the bleak (-ish) mid winter - and I’m so distracted by the thought of all these goodies, I can’t think of anything profound to write today!

Happy holiday season, all!

It will be all quiet at Fusion View over the holiday season and I will be back with new posts from Monday 8 Jan 2007. So see you in a couple of weeks!
