I have been repeatedly requested by far flung friends for pictures of where we live - and today while walking through the snow and ice into town for emergency shopping, I finally took the camera with me.
All photos can be clicked on to see bigger versions in Flickr.
Just around the corner from our house…
We have about a mile walk into town - today the quieter roads were covered in snow and ice…
After getting the shopping, I got the camera out - the High Street…
The end of town, and the Church - the park is just out of shot to the right…
St Marys Church…
Marlow Bridge (prototype of the bridge over the Danube in Budapest) …
The river Thames as it sweeps past the edge of town…
Birds huddled on a railing to keep warm…
Ducks braving the icy water…
Swans fighting over breadcrumbs…
Higginson Park…
One of the huge old trees in the park - well over 100ft tall, and about 10ft across…
Returning home and gathering up children from the green outside our house…
Getting caught up in a snowball fight before heading indoors for a nice warm cup of tea…
