Let it snow!

When the end of January arrived this year, the Brits heaved a collective sigh of relief because up until that point the UK had enjoyed one of the mildest winters on record. Particularly compared to last year when we were buried under 6ft of snow for the majority of December and all of Britain descended into chaos - flights were grounded, motorways were at a standstill, people were trapped in their homes and villages.

In contrast this winter has been almost glorious…. until now anyway! Forecasters have predicted a month of arctic weather conditions ahead of us. Fortunately we haven’t been affected too harshly where I live in Cirencester. There’s been just enough snow to make the town look like a winter wonderland!

                                                                                                                                              I’ve lived in Cirencester for almost two years now - it is a gorgeous little market town in the centre of the Cotswolds. It has an impressive medieval church in the centre that was built in the 1100’s and the town is surrounded by lush green parks. It has loads of quirky independent shops, a traditional bakery or two and a fabulous sweet shop. These photographs of the snow were all taken in the parks surrounding Cirencester.

                                                       
I love living in such a beautiful town, especially when it snows! J
