Winter wonder "Lane"

In the Lane snow is glistening

In the meadow we can build a snowman

and pretend that he is Gordon Brown!

As the sun rose this was the view from our kitchen.
An enchanted winter world stretched out in front of us.

My Editor in chief ( Him Down the Lane) was less than impressed by my grainy, grey over excited efforts at posting the snow in the wee small hours!



I love the word "laden" and I think that this fir hedge is definately

LADEN

The first snowfall is so romantic.

Many of my favourite books and films are set in snowy, magical worlds.

The wonder of children as the first snowflakes flutter past the window.....

Snow cloaks the familiar and turns them into wonder-lands over night.

The familiar sky lines of villages and towns transformed into fairy tale illustrations

I adore the Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson.

These illustrations are by Christian Birmingham for the Snow Queen published by Walker Books.

I epecially wish I could do this.....

And this wonderful picture is by Edmund du Lac also for the Snown Queen

You can find this here

Oh and then my all time favourite

Varykinov

The hideaway for Lara and Zhivago, wonderful

The interior was so beautiful too...

So magical to think of children waking up this Morning and hoping that the weather has delivered a festive dusting of snow....

Have a wonderful weekend x
