The crystalline ice is very beautiful.
Out walking the puppies today and the sky suddenly started to darken, threatening snow through the sunshine. The frost overnight had been very hard and the trees a frozen spectacle……and I had forgotten my camera!!!
Luckily I had my phone.
We have a a very pretty Christmas tree on the green just down the road. Many thanks to those you made this happen. We pass it almost every day and is looking particularly well with the recent snowfall.
With a slow thaw in progress we took the puppies to Bakewell for their first experience of shops and people shopping.
It took us ages to get around because everyone wanted to fuss the cute little puppies. This was a very pleasant and sociable activity (puppies are great ‘chick magnets’! ) but the boys enjoyed it too.
Bakewell has a river flowing through and this was the pups first encounter with birds and they were BIG…swans, geese and ducks.
A weir also called a heritage weir, is a small overflow dam used to raise the level of a river or stream. Weirs have been used to create mill ponds in such places. Water flows over the top of a weir, although some weirs have sluice gates releasing water at a level below the top of the weir. The crest of an overflow spillway on a large dam is often called a weir.
