Cold morning – Driffield.

Lifting mist as the morning gets warmer: 3.1 ° but getting to 6.9 ° later today.

Winter.

Just in case there is anyone here in UK who maybe thinks this sunny weather has gone on rather longer than they expected.
Sit back & remember what the winter was like – enjoy a good beer and relax, it’s not that hot: 50°C/122°F is hot !!

Last rays of sun in 2017.

Portents of a cold winter.

Winter walk.

Another walk in the snow – mafi muk (no brain) 😉

Winters day – Castle Howard.

Another cold winter day walk.

A little snow.

Dark, cold & wet.
We have snow again – where is global warming when you want it ? although I remember some years back that there was a scare (sorry serious in-depth report) that we could go into a mini ice age again. Skating on the River Thames and Ebenezer Scrooge or stepping out of the wardrobe and seeing a gas light.

More from this mornings walk.

Another two from this mornings impromptu walk along the top end of Driffield canal.

Driffield canal.

A quick early morning walk along the canal – I had hoped it would be foggy but alas no, just a light mist. It was very cold though.
(yes I know it’s all relative, 1 or 2C. is not 25 to 35C. so I have an excuse)

Construction authorised in 1767, it was fully open for traffic in 1770. Although the railway arrived at Driffield in 1846, the canal prospered until the 1870s, when there became a gradual decline. The last commercial traffic was in 1951, it now being just a lovely walk.
