Monday's forecasted 'sleet' became heavy snow, resulting in the closure of Luton airport and delays on the roads and railways. The water meadow we walked at the weekend was covered in snow, so Ron missed out on his walk because he hates the stuff. This photo was sent to the BBC photo news site and shows the field behind the watermeadows.

We regularly count our blessings at living in such a lovely part of the country, something that happened by luck when we were looking for somewhere to live that would allow MWNN to commute to his new school just over the 'border' in Bedfordshire and me to my new post as HOD in North London.
