Chiltern Hills Freak Early Snowfest

The first snowy October day in Great Missenden since 1935! Lucy and I were up at the crack of dawn to try and capture the weirdness of it all — autumn russets and deep brown, bright reds, some verdant green, and sparkling fresh snow.

All this, and half term, too. We arrived back home in to find a note from Catherine, Tim, Stewart, Nicholas, announcing they had gone off to goof about on sledges in the hills. The result seems to have been some vintage romping loonery, caught on Catherine’s phone:

The rats, sensibly, stayed snugly out of it. Some of us had to go to work — a good hour to get down to Eton College for an afternoon working through plans to invent the country’s first interfaith dialogue residential centre for young people; Worthwhile activity but fractionally less of a riot....

Hi, so like the video -- and snow much fun. But actually it was the bright cheerful photos that prompted this comment.

I set up the Buckinghamshire group on Flickr in March for people to share their good photos of Buckinghamshire people, places, organisations, etc....

It would be great if you'd like to join us and add your photos to the bunch. If you would like to, click on the following link (or copy and paste it into your web browser). Then you can see what I'm blathering on about!

I'll send you a separate invite to make it easier to join by way of email, which you are of course free to ignore. Flickr won't do anything unless you click on the link in the email.

God bless you (oops -- sorry -- that's your line :-)

It was amazing light, Jocelyn, especially with the autumn colours. I'll get on the flockr site later and have look — in principle the group sounds fun...
