A Green Winter

The weather (thus far) this winter couldn't be more different from 2010 - November last year brought snow and ice which continued throughout December - this year it was more wind and rain . . .

. . . with December continuing the theme (but more so!):

It's also been rather warm for the time of year - don't think we'd seen more than one frosty day up to the end of 2011, and January has continued the mild but extremely dismal outlook.  Looking forward to seeing the sun again now!
