So the first day of winter and we get a frost at Gatwick.
Had to scrape the ice off the car this morning.

Whats it been like with you?
 
Heavy frost first thing. Quite sunny now and the temperature has crept up to 7.5 degrees.

Just back from 6 mile walk. Beautiful. :)
 
Soooooo cold in the flat this morning, but I'm meeting Bex for mulled wine and hot roast at the Christmas markets after work - looking forward to that :D
 
The morning started off with nice blue sky's albeit a bit fricking cold. There was a quick down pour abut an hour ago. Just got back from a walk through the park....

My favourite coffee shop...They make the best cuppa tea here, and the bacon baps are to die for....
 
A frosty start here too, crisp and chilly. There's not an ounce of wind, it's really still, but the sun has disappeared now and it's getting a bit dark already.

That walk must have been quite bracing Niv :)

I like the sound of the Christmas markets Ian, hope you and Bex enjoy them - and the wine and roast, yum! :D

Nice pics Madx, the coffee shop looks as if it has some character :nod:

Less than 4 weeks and the days start getting longer again :)

You all wanted to know that didn't you?

It's a bit cold here, but nowt drastic, the local brass monkey family are so far not showing signs of distress.

Lights:

Festive, BBC News UK Pic of the day 07-12-09:

Yes, Iknow it's out of character for me but hey, I thought they looked good :)

Caption is: "Visitors have been flocking to see the array of Christmas lights put up in Trinity Close in Somerset, including a display created by resident Paula Payne"
 
Wow, those folks have certainly taken a lot of trouble with the festive lights. That display is much better than quite a lot of town centre efforts :D
