Nice half an hour here Gazz.

Everything had frozen up again. Just went outside to check on how thick the frost is and I scared the sheep and all I could hear was 'crunch crunch crunch crunch' as they ran off crunching thick frost under their feet!! Made me laugh! Boy it's COLD!

I will take the thermometer outside and get a reading, hang on. It may take 5-10 minutes.

Stupid thermometer Iced over!

Minus 3 at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and falling.

Leave my little dragon out of it. It's my fingers & feet that sting like hell out there!

P.s. It's probably people like Kieken and others saying 'Hey ya big sook, that's not cold yet! We wear T-shirts in that weather'. Lol

If it's a special occasion I put up with it for as long as possible.

Then I crack the frozen seal between my eye and the EP (leaving eyelashes frozen to the EP) and scrape the ice of the OTA and pack up as quick as possible. Nearly slipped over a few times last night. Tonight I packed up before it got too slippery.

If I didn't do it in short bursts I would miss out on too much like tonights conjunction! So it's actually worth a bit of discomfort (Shivering still as he says it!)

I thought you must have had an Irishman with you h0ughy to be that lucky. Must have been the only place on the east coast that was lucky enough for it to be clear enough long enough to get some images of it.

Damn fine shots too
